Introduction
Introduction

Jerusalem has a long continuous history of habitation with textual sources (i.e. the Hebrew Bible) documenting an occupation by a Canaanite tribe known as the Jebusites at the beginning of the Iron Age (Iron Age I). The city, according to the Hebrew Bible, was wrested from the Jebusites by King David around 1000 BCE and thereafter became the premier city of the Jewish religion and people. Later religions such as Christianity and Islam also made it a focal point. A continuous history of construction and destruction has led to a complex archeological history.

Early Periods and 1st Temple Period

Name

The name of the city appears as early as the Egyptian Execration texts in the twentieth and nineteenth centuries BCE, in a form probably to be read Rushalimum. In the fourteenth century BCE el-Amarna letters, it appears as Urusalim and in the Sennacherib inscriptions (seventh century BCE), as Uruslimmu. The early Hebrew pronunciation was apparently Yerushalem, as is evidenced by the spelling in the Hebrew Bible and by its form in the Septuagint. As for the meaning of the name, it can be assumed to be a compound of the West Semitic elements yrw and slm, probably to be interpreted as "Foundation of(the God) Shalem" (cf. Jeruel, 2 Chr. 20:16 and the usage of the word yrh in Job 38:6). Shalem is known from an Ugaritic mythological text as one of the two "beautiful and gracious gods," Shahar and Shalim (Dawn and Twilight, respectively). Salem, the shortened form of the name occurring in Genesis 14:18 and Psalms 76:2, as well as in later sources, also seems to be quite early.

The city was known also as Jebus, an ethnic name denoting the population of the city and its land in the period of the Israelite settlement down to its conquest by David. Araunah ('wrnh, 'rwnh), apparently the last pre-Israelite ruler of the city, is thus called Araunah the Jebusite. In the narrative of David's conquest, it is related that "the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites ... David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the City of David" (2 Sam. 5:6- 7). The name City of David was given to the citadel of Zion by the king himself: "And David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David" (2 Sam. 5:9, 1 Chr. 11:7).

The early name Zion specified the eastern hill of the city, with its northern summit (Mount Zion), known also as the Temple Mount, the "mountain of the house of the Lord," where Solomon built the Temple and the royal palace. Over the generations, the name Zion took on poetic connotations as an appellation for the entire city. The Temple Mount is also identified as Mount Moriah (2 Chr. 3:1) and the holy mountain in the "land of Moriah" (Gen. 22:2), vestiges of some early, obscure tradition.

There are still other early names for Jerusalem, such as the "city of Judah" (2 Chr. 25:28) denoting its status as the capital of the kingdom of Judah, and "The City" (in the Lachish letters).

History

The Pre-Davidic City

The archaeological finds and epigraphic and biblical evidence do not provide a well-founded basis for reconstructing the development and history of Jerusalem from its founding until its establishment as the capital of the Israelite kingdom. Even so, archaeological research has been able to determine precisely where the city was located in earliest times - on the southeastern spur below the Temple Mount (see below).

The many changes in the city's history and never-ceasing construction and destruction have largely obliterated the remains of the early settlement. Even so, various finds point to the continuity of settlement on this historical site from the Chalcolithic period. Painted ware from the Early Bronze Age I was discovered here, as early as the Parker expedition (c. 1910). Remains from the Chalcolithic period, the Early and Middle Bronze ages, as well as from the Late Bronze Age, have been found in the various excavations carried out on the southeastern spur and its slopes (see below).

Also indicative of the early settlement are cemeteries from the Middle and Late Bronze ages on the western slopes of the Mount of Olives and in the Kidron Valley, opposite the eastern hill. In one group of burials, excavated by the Franciscan Fathers on the site known as Dominus Flevit, a very rich assemblage of pottery was discovered, along with a number of alabaster and faience vessels and Egyptian scarabs, mostly from the Middle Bronze Age IIC and the Late Bronze Age I-IIA. Especially instructive are the numerous vessels from the fourteenth century BCE, mostly from the first half of that century (the Amarna period). They generally are of the same types found in a tomb with a rich pottery collection in the Nahalat Ahim neighborhood near Rehavia, and in a pit on the grounds of the former Government House, south of the city. These discoveries suggest sporadic settlement outside the fortified city. There is a surprisingly large number of imported pottery and other objects, especially from Cyprus, the Aegean, and Egypt.

Information about Jerusalem in the days of Egyptian rule in Canaan, in the fourteenth century BCE, is found in the el-Amarna letters - diplomatic correspondence between the kings of various Canaanite cities and their overlords, Amenhotep III and Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten). They include six letters sent by the ruler of Jerusalem to the Egyptian king, confirming the allegiance of the "Land of Jerusalem" (mat Urusalim). This ruler, ARAD-HI-pa "Servant of Hipa" (a Hurrian goddess), wrote in the lingua franca of that period, Akkadian. However, the peculiarities of usage indicate that the language spoken in Jerusalem at this time was a West Semitic dialect (Canaanite), closely related to the Hebrew of the Bible. The ruler of Jerusalem describes the situation in Canaan, requesting assistance in repelling Egypt's enemies -- disloyal Canaanite rulers and their allies, the Habiru - and writes of the rebelliousness of the locally stationed Nubian troops, part of the Egyptian garrison in Canaan. Another letter, sent by Shuwardata, the ruler of a city in the Shephelah, informs the Egyptian overlord of the great danger posed by the Habiru, especially after all his colleagues had abandoned him, and only he and ARAD-HI-pa remained to fight them. These ties between local kings, as mentioned here and in other letters, fully reveal the importance of Jerusalem in the fourteenth century BCE. It seems that the "land of Jerusalem" extended in this period over a large area in the southern hill country.

The biblical sources treating the early population of Jerusalem and its neighbors to the south (Jos. 10) use the term Amorite; toward the end of the period of Israelite settlement and at the beginning of the monarchic period, however, the term Jebusite appears in this context. It seems that Jerusalem was not Jebusite until the time of the Israelite conquest - more specifically until the conquest of the city by the tribe of Judah. Some clue of the ethnic affiliation of the Jebusites may be hinted at in Ezekiel l6:3: "Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth are of the land of the Canaanites; your father was an Amorite, and your mother a Hittite." And we may note that a well-known inhabitant of the city was Uriah the Hittite, who possessed a house in the City of David. Equally of interest is the name of the owner of the site of the Temple Mount, who was probably the ruler of the city when David conquered it: Araunah (or the Araunah, as the Hebrew has it in 2 Sam. 24:16) seems not to have been a personal name but rather the Hurrian word ewrine (lord), found in Hittite (and as a personal name in Ugaritic). Thus, the Jebusites are related to the Hittites, and they came to control the Land of Jerusalem, remaining a foreign enclave surrounded by the Israelites during the twelfth and eleventh centuries BCE (cf. Jg. 19:10).

The City of David and the Temple Mount

The conquest of the stronghold of Zion and its becoming the City of David are described in 2 Samuel 5:6-9 as a daring deed on the part of the king [David], but in I Chronicles 11:4-7 it is ascribed to Joab, who thus gained his lofty position under David. It can be assumed that David took Jerusalem early in his reign, prior to the events around the pool at Gibeon (2 Sam. 2:12-32) and the death of Abner (2 Sam. 3:20-27). Joab was already the commander of the Judean army, and the foreign enclave between Judah and Benjamin had already been eliminated. The Jebusites were not wiped out but rather continued to live "with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day" (Jg. 1:21).

David seems to have transferred his seat from Hebron to the new capital at Jerusalem some seven years after he had conquered the stronghold of Zion. During this period several events occurred that led to the strengthening of David's kingdom. The new capital became the royal estate, thus forging a bond between the City of David and the Davidic Dynasty. This bond was a decisive factor in the history of the kingdom for many generations.

There are few references in the Bible to David's building activities. His principal efforts - "And he built the city round about from the Millo in complete circuit" (1 Chr. 11:8; 2 Sam. 5:9) - should be ascribed to his early years in the city. The construction of the House of Cedar (apparently on the Millo) by craftsmen sent by Hiram, king of Tyre, apparently took place later (2 Sam. 5:11).It is assumed that David extended the fortified city on the north, toward the Temple Mount. This seems to have led to the breaching of the older city wall north of the stronghold of Zion, until Solomon "closed up the breach of the City of David his father" (1 Kg. 11:27), strengthened the Millo, and began to erect his new acropolis, including the magnificent structures on the Temple Mount itself.

The Valley Gate apparently stood on the west of the spur, in the vicinity of the later gate in the western wall of the City of David discovered in J. W. Crowfoot's excavations. The term Millo may have designated the terraces on the eastern slope of the southeastern spur that formed retaining walls for the structures above. It seems to have been here that the more splendid of the buildings in the City of David were built, such as the "house of the mighty men" (Neh. 3:16), the "house of cedar" (2 Sam. 7:2), and the "tower of David" (Song 4:4). Both man and nature worked toward the obliteration of these structures, and even in the period of the monarchy it was necessary to repair the Millo from time to time. Finds from the zenith of the period of the monarchy were discovered in the excavations carried out in the City of David by K. M. Kenyon and Y. Shiloh.

David brought the Ark of the Covenant, symbol of the unity of the tribes and of the covenant between the people and God, to Jerusalem when it became the royal city of Israel, and high officials and a permanent garrison were stationed here. Thus, he established Jerusalem as the metropolis of the entire people and the cultic center of the God of lsrael. In the latter years of his reign, David built an altar on the Temple Mount; according to the tradition recorded in the Bible, David purchased the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, upon God's command, for this purpose. lt is clear that this site was held sacred even prior to David, for an elevated, exposed spot at the approaches to a city often served as the local cultic spot. The sanctity of Jerusalem, atop the Temple Mount, is already inferred in the Book of Genesis (Mount Moriah), although this is anachronistic. The tale of the connection between Abraham and Melchizedek, king of Salem and "priest of God Most High"- who blessed the patriarch and assured him of victory over his adversaries, receiving "a tenth of everything" (Gen. 14:18-20) - is the outstanding example. Psalm 110 indicates the importance placed by tradition upon Melchizedek as an early ideal ruler. It uses his prestige to strengthen the claim on the city and the legitimacy of his successors here, the Davidic line,. The story of the sacrifice of Isaac (Gen. 22) is also revealing. The spot on one of the mountains in the land of Moriah, where Abraham built his altar, was the place called "the Lord provides," the site on which David built his altar much later. Thus, David is regarded as having rebuilt the altar of Abraham on this sacred spot.

Royal Temple and the Royal Palace

The acropolis of Jerusalem, which included the Temple and the royal palace, had apparently already been planned during the coregency of David and Solomon, under the inspired guidance of Nathan the Prophet (2 Sam. 7). The actual construction, however, began only after the death of David, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign. The craftsmen, recruited from Tyre, labored for about twenty years, and the buildings were built according to the typical plan of Neo-Hittite and Aramean royal cities in that period. The plan kept the acropolis - the royal precinct, with the military command and the civilian government, along with the priesthood - separate from the city proper. Solomon built the Temple first, for it was not his intention merely to build a house for God and for the Ark of the Law, but to establish the central Temple of Israel under the patronage of the Davidic Dynasty, to forge a perpetual bond between the royal line and the Temple, a bond that lasted throughout the period of the First Temple.

Construction of the Temple lasted for seven years. The palace complex the palace proper, the House of Pharaoh's Daughter, the throne room, the Hall of Columns, and the House of the Forest of Lebanon - was built immediately to the south, over a thirteen-year period. Phoenician craftsmen were employed in both projects. They left their imprint on the architecture, on the actual construction work, and on the decoration and furnishings. Solomon was also active in the City of David and its fortifications, and it has been suggested that the small segment of a casemate wall located near the top of the eastern slope of the spur (discovered by Kenyon, see below) should be ascribed to his reign. At this time the city included within its walls not only the acropolis, but also markets, which were of considerable importance in international trade. It may even have been at this time that the city began its spread westward and northward, outside the walls.

City of Judah

From the time of the splitting of the monarchy, following Solomon's death (c. 930 BCE), Jerusalem remained the capital of lsrael. At the end of Solomon's reign, factional differences arose between the royal family and the priesthood over the division of authority between the secular and the religious powers. These differences recurred throughout the period of the divided monarchy, with varying foreign influences - at first Phoenician, later Aramean, and finally Assyrian. This finally led to the strengthening of the purist faction and to religious reforms. Throughout, the Temple continued to serve as the focal point of the national-religious feelings of the people.

The historiographical sources in the Bible provide considerable information on the persistent efforts of the kings of Judah to fortify and glorify Jerusalem. Special importance seems to have been attached to the establishment of the High Court in Jerusalem by Jehoshaphat (2 Chr. 19). Of interest also are the descriptions of the repairs carried out in the Temple, such as those of Joash, as well as of the fortification work carried out on the city's defenses. Uzziah and his son and co-regent Joram seem to have done much to reinforce the fortifications of the city in the difficult days of Assyria's rise in the mid-eighth century BCE (2 Chr. 26:9). Great attention was then given to the new citadel (the Ophel) built to the south of the Temple Mount, between the royal palace and the City of David. At the same time, the city probably began expanding westward.

A new phase in the history of Jerusalem began under Hezekiah, when the destruction of the kingdom of lsrael and its capital, Samaria (722 BCE), led to renewed ties between Judah and the remnant of the population of the Northern Kingdom. The new political and economic conditions created in the days of Sargon II of Assyria (722-705 BCE) again raised Jerusalem to the status of the entire nation's national-religious and economic center. This enabled Hezekiah to achieve a strong position for his country between Assyria and Egypt, to extend the political borders of Judah in the Negev and in Philistia ("till Gaza"), to take an important role in the trade with Egypt and Arabia, and to carry out religious reforms. However, the struggle of the Assyrian empire for hegemony over the lands of the West and its conflict with Egypt brought Judah, too, into the maelstrom of war. Among the projects of Hezekiah in Jerusalem, on the eve of Sennacherib's campaign (701 BCE), was the strengthening of the Millo and of the city wall with its towers, the construction of a new wall (2 Chr. 32:5), and the blocking of all sources of water outside the city. This also involved the diversion of the waters of the Gihon Spring through the Siloam Tunnel.

Another phase in the city's history began toward the end of the reign of Manasseh (698-642 BCE), when that king was allowed to restore the autonomy of Judah, under Assyrian tutelage. Manasseh saw to the refortification of Jerusalem, the strengthening of its citadel, and the building of a new outer wall (2 Chr. 33:14). The city reached new heights, however, in the reign of Josiah (639-609 BCE), when Judah threw off the Assyrian yoke, expanding its borders and influence and undergoing an economic revival. In the reign of Josiah, the walled city of Jerusalem already included much of the area of the present Old City, with the Makhtesh (apparently in the Tyropoeon Valley) and the Mishneh (the western hill), undoubtedly its new residential and commercial center. The city's expansion to the west has been indicated clearly by the various excavations on the southwestern hill, and especially by the discovery there of a section of a solid city wall (see below). The height of Josiah's efforts was reached in his concentration of the cult in the Temple in Jerusalem, basing it on the Scroll of the Law-apparently the nucleus of the Book of Deuteronomy -- discovered during repairs he made in the Temple (622 BCE). With the restoration of the glory of the Davidic line, the status of the Zadokite family of High Priests, which had served in the Temple in the days of Solomon, was restored. This dynasty of priests played an important role in Second Temple times also, in religious and political spheres.

After the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple by the Babylonians (586 BCE), the city continued to be the focal point of the national aspirations of the exiles and those who had remained in the country. Pilgrimages to the Temple Mount continued, not only from Judah, but also from Samaria (Jer. 41:5). The decree of Cyrus, king of Persia, in 538 BCE, gave expression to the reawakening of the Babylonian exiles. With the movement of the return from exile, the establishment of an altar, and the beginning of work on a new Temple, Jewish settlement in Jerusalem was renewed.

The 2nd Temple Period

History

Babylonian and Persian Periods

After Jerusalem had been destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE and its inhabitants deported, only the "poorest of the land" were left in the city and its environs (2 Kg. 25:8-12). This situation, although consistent with the archeological finds, is at odds with Jeremiah 52:29-30, in which the number of exiles who left Jerusalem after the destruction is small - 832 persons, and 745 more after the assassination of Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Possibly, many Jerusalemites had abandoned the city even before the siege, and many others escaped during the fighting.

After the Babylonians lost Judah and Jerusalem to the Persians, Cyrus published his celebrated proclamation (538 BCE) permitting the Jews to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple (Ezra 1:2-3). The returning exiles settled mainly in Jerusalem (in the City of David) and in the nearby villages to the north. Under the leadership of Sheshbazzar, who was appointed governor of Judah, the Temple altar was repaired and the Temple implements restored. It is quite possible that even at this early stage preparations were begun to rebuild the Temple itself (Ezra 5: 16); this would have been a first, symbolic step, heralding the inception of a new period in Jerusalem's history. However, the small population of Jerusalem at the time, the hostility and interference of gentile neighbors, and the difficulty of financing the construction put an end to any such effort.

In the year 521 BCE a new, larger wave of returnees reached Jerusalem, led by Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, a scion of the royal dynasty who had been appointed governor of Judah, and Joshua son of Jehozadak, one of the leading priests in Babylon. The returning exiles, encouraged by the prophet Haggai, set about completing the construction of the Temple, but they encountered the same difficulties as their predecessors. The work dragged on, and only in 515 BCE, after the text of Cyrus' original proclamation had been located, was the building of the Temple crowned with success. Preparations may have been undertaken at the same time to repair the walls of Jerusalem, which had been in ruins since the Babylonian occupation. This act signified the immigrants' renewed political independence.

The history of Jerusalem in the first half of the fifth century BCE is shrouded in darkness; the written sources offer no information for the period. The country's relative calm at the time presumably encouraged the Jews to continue to settle in Jerusalem. In 458 BCE, Ezra the Scribe came to Jerusalem at the head of yet another group of returnees. He concentrated his efforts in Jerusalem on consolidating the legal and religious identity of the city's Jewish community. Possibly, a further failed attempt was made in Ezra's time to repair the city's fortifications - a plan of far-reaching political significance; this may be inferred from the Aramaic letter of accusation sent to the king of Persia to thwart the plan (Ezra 4:7-16).

In the wake of Ezra's failure, a new governor, Nehemiah, arrived in Jerusalem in 445 BCE. His first and most urgent concern was to rebuild the wall around Jerusalem, as related in Nehemiah 2-4. Nehemiah describes the ruins of the city and relates how he organized the people into construction teams, finally completing the walls in fifty-two days. Once again, the neighboring nations were bitterly opposed to the project and actively tried to sabotage it.

The city wall, described in the book of Nehemiah in considerable detail, with all its gates and towers, probably encircled only the City of David and the Temple. According to the biblical account (Neh. 2:8), "the fortress (birah)" was still standing near the Temple and Nehemiah in fact used it as his headquarters. Nehemiah's account is a most important and detailed documentation of the topography of the city and its wall before the city expanded westward to occupy the southwestern hill. The wall, in addition to its obvious defensive function, also played a social role: the mere fact of its construction symbolized the Jews' aloofness from their gentile neighbors. Nehemiah also issued an official decree that compelled part of the Jewish rural population to settle in Jerusalem (Neh. II:1). Through his efforts, the city's Jewish community grew in numbers and increased its economic and social stability; nevertheless, Jerusalem was still only sparsely populated: "The city was wide and large, but the people within it were few and no houses had been built" (Neh. 7:4).

The two centuries between the close of Nehemiah's activity in Jerusalem and the beginning of the Hellenistic period are also wrapped in obscurity.

Hellenistic and Hasmonean Periods

In 332 BCE, Judah and Jerusalem were conquered by Alexander the Great and came under rule. After his death, Jerusalem changed hands several times (during the Diadochi's wars of succession), until 301 BCE, when it finally became part of the Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt. The Ptolemies ruled Jerusalem and Judah for a long time. There is very little information about the city in this period. It seems that Jerusalem, whose economic infrastructure had been badly damaged by long years of instability, benefited from the prolonged period of political calm. The city's ruins and its walls were rebuilt, perhaps as far back as the time of Simeon the Just, in the early third century BCE, and a pool was built (Ecclesiasticus 50:1-4). In the mid-third century BCE, the city's population grew as a result of the political stability and economic development in the area under the Ptolemies. According to Hecataeus (cited by Josephus in Against Apion I, 197), the population of Jerusalem was then 120,000. This figure is certainly exaggerated, but it attests, at the very least, to a steady increase in population.

Upon the accession to the throne of Antiochus III (223 BCE), military initiative in Palestine was taken over by the Seleucids, who ruled Syria. The struggle between the Seleucid and Ptolemaic kingdoms at the end of the third century BCE and the consequent unrest cut short Jerusalem's economic and urban development. During one of those clashes, the city was apparently occupied by King Ptolemy of Egypt, reportedly because he attacked the city on the Sabbath, when its Jewish defenders refused to fight (Antiq. XII, 4-6; Against Apion I, 209-210).

In 200 BCE, Palestine and Jerusalem fell to the Seleucids. The Jews of Jerusalem welcomed the rule of Antiochus III and in fact helped him wrest the city fortress from its Ptolemaic garrison (Antiq. XII, 138).

In the early years of the second century BCE, the municipal administration of Jerusalem, encouraged by the Seleucid kings and supported by Hellenized elements among the city's wealthier Jews and the aristocratic priestly families, was organized along the lines of a Greek polis. In 175 BCE, as part of the endeavor to give Jerusalem the character of a Greek polis, the high priest Jason received permission from Antiochus IV Epiphanes to build a gymnasium (2 Mace. 4:9). The Jews were allowed "to live according to their ancestral laws," and the authorities in fact assisted in repairing Jerusalem and the Temple, probably damaged when the city was occupied. The Letter of Aristeas provides details about the Temple, its walls and towers, as well as the mighty fortress that protected the northern approaches to the Temple in the Hellenistic period.

With the appointment of Menelaus as high priest in Jerusalem in 171 BCE, the Seleucid authorities intensified their intervention in the city's affairs. In 168 BCE, upon his return from an unsuccessful military sortie to Egypt, Antiochus IV looted the Temple treasures. That same year, inspired by a rumor that the king had died in another military expedition to Egypt, the Jews of Jerusalem rebelled, reappointing Jason as high priest. Menelaus and his supporters were forced to take refuge in the fortress until Antiochus reconquered the city. In order to buttress his control of the city, Antioch us IV now brought foreign settlers to Jerusalem and erected a new fortress, known as the Acra, in which he stationed a hostile mercenary garrison.

The Seleucid ruler's attempts to prohibit observance of the commandments and interfere with the sacrificial rites in the Temple, even installing a graven image in the sanctuary, aroused vehement opposition on the part of the Jews, who finally rose in armed revolt. After a series of Hasmonean victories at the very beginning of the revolt, Judas Maccabaeus entered Jerusalem in 164 BCE and cleansed the Temple. In the coming years, however, t he Hasmoneans were unable to maintain continuous control of Jerusalem, i n particular owing to the presence of a Seleucid garrison in the Acra. Repeated attempts to displace this garrison were successful only under Simeon the Hasmonean, in 141 BCE (2 Mace. 13:49-52). The whole of Jerusalem was now finally under Hasmonean control and the constant Seleucid threat was removed.

Some sections of Jerusalem's fortifications had already been repaired under Judas Maccabaeus and the first Hasmonean rulers, in order to enhance the defenses of what was then the capital city of their kingdom. Hasmonean initiative also furthered population growth, as a result of which the city spread to the southwestern hill. The foundations were laid for a high-class residential section that ultimately became known as the Upper City. Under Simeon the Hasmonean, the conqueror of the Acra, and his successor, Hyrcanus I, the "First Wall" around the southwestern hill was rebuilt.

In 134-132 BCE, Antiochus VII Sidetes laid siege to Jerusalem but failed to penetrate its defenses. The treaty he signed with John Hyrcanus I required the Hasmonean king to demolish parts of Jerusalem's fortifications in return for lifting the siege and Seleucid recognition of his kingdom. The subsequent years of John Hyrcanus' reign and those of his successor, Alexander Jannaeus, were marked by rapid development in Jerusalem, which was now the capital city of a large kingdom. New residential sections were built in the northern part of the city and encircled by the "Second Wall." In order to satisfy Jerusalem's burgeoning needs for water, the so-called Low Aqueduct was built in the Hasmonean period, to bring water to the Temple from the distant springs in the hills far to the south.

The wars of succession that broke out among the Hasmoneans after Salome Alexandra's death (67 BCE) hastened the end of their rule in Jerusalem. In 63 BCE the city was occupied by Pompey, who besieged it at the head of a Roman army to aid the pretender Hyrcanus II. The supporters of the latter's rival, Aristobulus II, retreated from most of the city and shut themselves up in the Temple. After a three-month siege, during which parts of the city around the Temple were systematically destroyed, the Temple Mount was overrun and the independent rule of the Hasmoneans in Jerusalem came to an end (Antiq. XIV, 58-71; War I, 421-152). In subsequent years, Aristobulus' son, Alexander, in fact planned to restore the fortifications, but his attempt to implement this plan (in 57 BCE) was foiled by the intervention of Gabinius, the Roman procurator in Syria (Antiq. XIV, 82-85; War I, 160- 163).

Herodian Period

In 48 BCE, Antipater the Idumean, who ruled Judea as regent on behalf of the Romans, repaired the breaches in Jerusalem's defenses that had been made during the Roman conquest. He appointed his sons Phasael and Herod as tetrarchs of Jerusalem and Galilee, respectively (Antiq. XIV, 156, 158; War I, 199, 203).

In 40 BCE, when the Parthians invaded Syria and Palestine, Mattathias Antigonus the Hasmonean seized the opportunity to march on Jerusalem at the head of his supporters, forcing Herod to flee the city. Mattathias Antigonus, the last of the Hasmonean kings, ruled Jerusalem for the next three years. In 37 BCE Herod, with Roman support, returned to Judea at the head of an army and laid siege to Jerusalem. After five months he took the city from the north, breaching both walls. The defenders of Jerusalem and their leader, Mattathias Antigonus, were thrust back into the Temple and the Upper City but were soon ousted from there, too (Antiq. XIV, 468-486; War I, 345-357).

Herod, having consolidated his hold over Jerusalem and the country as a whole, embarked on several ambitious building projects that utterly transformed the architectural face of the city; within the span of a single generation, Jerusalem became one of the most beautiful capitals in the ancient Near East. Whole sections of the city were rebuilt and impressive public buildings erected; luxurious palaces went up in the Upper City, and to the west the royal palace was built, defended by three huge towers. Crowning Herod's achievements in Jerusalem was the reconstruction of the Temple on an artificial elevated platform that was impressive both for the technology employed to make it and for its size (War V, 184-237). The Temple Mount and the Temple itself are described in detail, from the point of view of Jewish law, in the Mishnaic tractate Middot.

Herod's construction projects not only beautified Jerusalem, they also ushered in a period of great economic prosperity. They both provided employment for thousands of inhabitants over a period of many years and made the city an attraction for myriads of pilgrims who thronged to the Holy City from the rest of the country and all over the Diaspora.

Upon Herod's death in 4 BCE, the kingdom was divided among his sons. Archelaus inherited the bulk of his father's dominions and became the ruler of Jerusalem. In the wake of his failure to respond to popular demands to alleviate various oppressive measures, riots broke out in the city, and he was obliged to leave immediately for Rome to give an account to the emperor. The Roman official Sabinus, left in command in Jerusalem, tried to gain control of the city; he invaded the Temple, set fire to the stoas, and looted the Temple treasures. These events only intensified the violence of the people's reaction, and Sabinus and his troops were forced to take refuge behind the wall of the royal palace. The uprising was finally suppressed by Varus, the Roman procurator in Syria, who occupied the city and put many of its inhabitants to death (Antiq. XVII, 250-264, 286-297; War II, 39-50, 66-79).

Procurator's Period

Archelaus was sent into exile in 6 CE, and his kingdom was made a Roman province, under the direct rule of a Roman procurator. This change in the political status of Judea as a whole also adversely affected Jerusalem, which lost its position as the administrative capital of the country; in addition, a Roman garrison was permanently stationed in the city, based in the Antonia fortress, which controlled the Temple area.

Up until the Jewish Revolt in 66 CE, a total of fourteen Roman procurators ruled Jerusalem. Their policies and behavior, which ignored the feelings of the Jewish residents, aroused tensions that erupted on occasion as violent clashes. Friction with the Roman authorities peaked under the procurator Pontius Pilate (26-36 CE), who used Temple monies to build an aqueduct to Jerusalem (Antiq. XVIII, 60-62; War II, 175-177).

Jerusalem in the first century CE was in the throes of expanding its territory north, where the so-called New City sprang up. In 41-44 CE, Agrippa I began to build the Third Wall to defend the new section of the city. However, the Roman emperor forbade him to continue, and the new wall was only completed during the revolt. At this time, too, construction work on the Temple came to an end, and the many laborers who thus became unemployed were set to work paving the streets of Jerusalem.

The Sanhedrin, which held jurisdiction over religious and civil affairs, was then the central institution in Jerusalem - the concrete expression of the internal autonomy of Judea. In addition, positions of considerable influence were held by a few of the senior priestly families, from which the high priests were chosen. Jerusalem attracted residents in large numbers, from near and far; among the best known of the foreigners who came was Helena, queen of Adiabene, who built an impressive family tomb north of the city (Antiq. XX, 95).

By the end of the Second Temple period Jerusalem had the largest Jewish community in Judea and was a focus of Jewish spiritual creativity and a major economic center in the country. The historical sources estimate the city's population at the time in exaggerated numbers, reaching hundreds of thousands (Tacitus, Historiae V, 13) and even more (Josephus, War II, 280; VI, 420-425).

The most important written sources for information about Jerusalem in most of the period in question are the works of the contemporary historian Josephus Flavius, who had firsthand knowledge of the city. His most important work in this regard is The Jewish War, which devotes two entire chapters to a detailed, systematic description of Jerusalem, its fortifications, buildings, and Temple, as they were on the eve of the destruction in 70 CE (War V, 136-183; 184-247).

Jerusalem's significance and renown at the end of the Second Temple period transcended the narrow boundaries of Judea; in Philo's words, "Jerusalem [was] the metropolis not only of Judea but of many other countries" (Legatio ad Gaium 281 ). So great was its splendor at this time that Pliny the Elder called it "the most illustrious city in the East" (NH V, 70). The last days of the Second Temple period were marked by the emergence of Zealot movements in Jerusalem, fueled by growing resentment of Roman government and religious, economic, and social tensions among the various classes in the populace. Further complicating the situation were deep religious convictions and messianic expectations, popularized by numerous visionaries and prophets, who promised the people speedy redemption from the oppressive Roman yoke.

One of these was undoubtedly Jesus of Nazareth, who was active in Jerusalem during the 30s of the first century CE; he was brought there to trial before the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate, who sentenced him to death by crucifixion.

The 1st Revolt and the Destruction of the 2nd Temple

In 66 CE, disturbances erupted in Jerusalem and soon reached the proportions of a full-scale rebellion against the Roman authorities. The rebels took over Jerusalem and evicted the Roman procurator Florus and his troops from the city; at the same time, they abolished the sacrifice regularly offered in the Temple for the emperor's welfare - an act tantamount to declaring war on Rome. The civil war that broke out among the rival factions and between them and the advocates of peaceful compromise with Rome devastated entire sections of Jerusalem, including the palaces in the Upper City. The Zealots finally prevailed. The Roman army that had been dispatched to quell the revolt conquered the Antonia, and the remnants of this army shut themselves up in the royal palace in the Upper City. When the rebels conquered the palace and the three towers that defended it, the whole of Jerusalem was in their hands. An attempt by Cestius Gallus, the Roman procurator in Syria, to suppress the uprising failed. After occupying some parts of Jerusalem, he was driven back by the rebels and retreated.

The leaders of the Zealot factions that had gained control of Jerusalem John of Gischala, Simeon bar Giora, and Eleazar ben Simeon - imposed a reign of terror on the population. As a result of their internecine struggle to control strategic sections of the city, many houses were destroyed and food stores burned. This weakened Jerusalem's ability and the resolve of its residents to withstand the imminent Roman attack.

In the spring of 70 CE, Titus besieged Jerusalem at the head of an army consisting of the Fifth, Tenth, Twelfth, and Fifteenth legions, assisted by numerous auxiliary forces. After bitter fighting, the city was conquered from the north, in several stages. The Romans first breached the Third Wall; immediately thereafter, the Second Wall fell. The Romans then reared two siege mounds over against the Antonia in the north of the Temple Mount and two other siege mounds west of the city, threatening the wall of the Upper City. These mounds were partly damaged by the defenders' attacks. Unable to breach the wall of the Upper City, Titus ordered a circumvallation to be constructed in order to block escapes from the city and cut off food supplies. A further effort, in the course of which the siege mounds were repaired, finally resulted in his occupation of the Antonia fortress. In the fierce battles that then ensued, the northern and western stoas of the Temple Mount burned down and the sacrificial rites were discontinued. On the ninth of the Hebrew month of Av, the Temple was occupied and destroyed. One month later, on the eighth of Elul, the Romans overran the Upper City and burned it to the ground. The next day "the dawn ... broke upon Jerusalem in flames" (War VI, 407). The deliberate and systematic destruction of the city and the Temple continued for some time after its occupation by the Roman legions. Most of the inhabitants and refugees who had sought shelter in Jerusalem perished in the fighting and the siege; the survivors were sold into slavery. After the revolt, the Tenth Roman Legion erected its camp on the ruins of the city, in the shadow of the three great towers that Herod had built in its western part (War VII, 2).

The Roman Period

History

The information available about Jerusalem's history in the Roman period from the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE to the Byzantine period at the beginning of the fourth century CE - is extremely fragmentary, owing to the dearth of contemporary historical accounts.

Josephus (War VII, 2-5) states that the Tenth Roman Legion Fretensis was stationed in the ruins of Jerusalem after its destruction. The legion's camp was built near the three towers - Phasael, Hippicus, and Mariamme - and near the part of the western city wall that had not been destroyed.

During Hadrian's visit to Judea in 130 CE, it was decided to establish a Roman colony on the ruins of the city that had been destroyed in 70 CE. There are two conflicting opinions about the exact date on which the colony of Aelia Capitolina was founded. According to Dio Cassius (Hist. LXIX; 12, 1-2), the decision to establish a Roman colony in Jerusalem was the immediate cause of the outbreak of the Bar-Kokhba Revolt in 132 CE. The account of Eusebius, the church historian, dates the foundation of Aelia Capitolina to 136 CE, after the revolt was suppressed (HE IV, 6, 4). The discovery of hoards of coins from the time of the Bar-Kokhba Revolt, including coins of the colony of Aelia Capitolina itself, suggests the existence of the Roman colony during the revolt (132-135 CE).

The full name of the colony Hadrian founded in 130 CE was Colonia Aelia Capitolina. In the third century CE, the name was expanded to include the elements Commodiana, Pia Felix, and Antoniniana. The abbreviated name Aelia continued to be used throughout most of the Byzantine period, and even into the Early Arab period.

The Medeba map preserves the basic features of the town plan of Hadrianic Aelia Capitolina. A later source, the Chronicon Paschale, describes the city's appearance at the time of its foundation: it was divided into seven definite quarters and included a few prominent central buildings. These buildings cannot be identified with certainty in the archaeological remains of the Roman period unearthed in Jerusalem; nevertheless, the description given in this source is testimony to the magnificence of Aelia Capitolina.

Many coins minted in Aelia Capitolina, from its foundation to the middle of the third century CE, attest to the pagan rituals practiced in the city in the Roman period and to the importance of the Tenth Legion in the pattern of city life. Dio Cassius (Hist. LXIX, 12, I) writes that when the colony was founded a temple of Jupiter was built on the Temple Mount; its existence and that of others can also be inferred from their depiction on coins and references in inscriptions discovered in Jerusalem.

The decision to forbid Jews to settle in Jerusalem and to establish a pagan Roman colony there was responsible in part for the outbreak of the Bar Kokhba Revolt. There is no archaeological evidence for a Jewish presence in Jerusalem in the Roman period, including during the Bar-Kokhba Revolt itself. Only a few of the coins issued by the Jews during the revolt have been discovered up until now in excavations in the area of ancient Jerusalem. It is probable that even if Jerusalem was occupied by Jewish forces then - and it is by no means certain that it was - they did not hold the city long enough to leave their mark in the archaeological record. At the end of the second century CE, the emperor Septimius Severus apparently visited Aelia, confirming the status of the city and its residents. The emperor's visit was commemorated by the minting of a special coin.

In the mid-third century, Aelia Capitolina began to lose its standing as a major city of Roman Palestine. The Tenth Legion gradually began leaving its camp in the city and its various outposts; the process was completed by the end of the third century, probably under Diocletian. Jerusalem only regained its former status at the beginning of the Byzantine period, in the reign of Constantine the Great, when it became the most important religious center in the Byzantine Christian Empire.

Archaeological finds from the Roman period unearthed at Jerusalem in the past, as well as many additional finds from the excavations since 1967, have contributed much to what is known of the topography of the city in that period. The cumulative evidence now enables a more precise reconstruction of the map of Aelia Capitolina and its internal division as well as the tracing of its urban development. The city is now known to have been divided into two parts that differed from one another in their nature and in the buildings they housed. The southern part of the city - the present-day Armenian and Jewish quarters and Mount Zion - was occupied by the Tenth Legion's camp, built in 70 CE. In the northern part of the city - the Muslim and Christian quarters - Hadrian's builders erected the city's civil and municipal complex. How Aelia Capitolina was defended in the Roman period has not yet been settled; however, the new evidence corroborates the theory that the city was unwalled for most of the period - at least until the end of the Roman period.

The Byzantine Period

History

In the Byzantine period, from Constantine's reign (324 CE) onward, Jerusalem gained importance as a major religious center of the Byzantine Christian empire. The city's official name was Aelia, with the pagan adjective Capitolina omitted. Numerous historical sources describe Jerusalem in the Byzantine period, concentrating, naturally, on its churches and other sacred buildings. This voluminous literature includes various chronicles, such as that of Eusebius, relating the history of the Christian Church (Historia Ecclesiastica) and that of Jerome; liturgical works that describe rites and attest to the existence of many churches and holy shrines; biographies of monks such as Peter the Iberian, Euthymius, and Sabas that refer to the buildings associated with their activities in Jerusalem; and Procopius' account of the construction activities in Jerusalem in the reign of Justinian. Of particular importance are the many itineraries written by pilgrims who visited the city in that period, searching for the holy places mentioned in the Gospels - the Pilgrim of Bordeaux, Egeria, Antoninus of Placentia, and Arculf (the latter visited Jerusalem at the beginning of the Arab period).

From the historical sources it emerges that the preference of Jerusalem as a religous center led to an intensive construction of churches and other religious institutions in the city, some financed by the imperial coffers and others by private donors. That activity contributed to the Christian character of Byzantine Jerusalem as reflected by its buildings and its population. Church building activities began in Jerusalem in the reign of the emperor Constantine, with the construction of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher inside the city and the Eleona Church on the summit of the Mount of Olives. In the Early Byzantine period, perhaps while Constantine was still reigning, a wall was built around Jerusalem.

Between 361 and 363 the emperor Julian the Apostate planned the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount. The failure of that attempt, due to a sudden outbreak of fire and the death of the emperor, was to determine the character of Jerusalem as a Christian city from that time until the beginning of the Arab period. It sealed the fate of the Temple Mount which remained desolate for the duration.

The building activity in Jerusalem increased in the fifth century, in the second half of which the city bishop was granted the status of patriarch. Among the more important churches erected at this time were the Church of Holy Zion on Mount Zion and the Church of the Ascensio on the summit of the Mount of Olives. A major figure in Jerusalem in the mid-fifth century was Empress Eudocia, who invested considerable funds in the city's development and construction. A new wall was built on Mount Zion, a church was erected at the Siloam Pool, and another church, dedicated to Saint Stephen, was built north of the city.

In the fifth century, the influx of Christian pilgrims to Jerusalem gradually increased; some of them, in fact, made their home in the city. The population thus included, in addition to the permanent, native-born residents, many foreigners - Syrians, Armenians, Anatolian Greeks (Greeks from Asia Minor), and others. It was at this time that important centers of monasticism were founded in the Jerusalem vicinity, headed by monks from the Judean Desert, such as Euthymius, Theodosius, and Sabas, whose activities were a major factor in determining the city's character and religious leadership. It seems that in the Early Byzantine period Jews still were prohibited from settling in Jerusalem.

Byzantine Jerusalem reached the zenith of its splendor and greatness in the sixth century. Under the emperor Justinian, numerous building projects were undertaken, of which the best known are the "Nea" Church and the southern continuation of the Cardo. By the end of the Byzantine period, the municipal territory of Jerusalem extended beyond the city walls, taking in the suburbs to the north and west. These residential areas, which were only sparsely built up and populated, also contained churches, monasteries and convents, and burial chapels, as well as commercial and industrial buildings. The areas north of Jerusalem and on the Mount of Olives were the scene of considerable religious construction by the Armenian community. There is also evidence of a small Jewish community in Jerusalem at this time, apparently concentrated near the Temple Mount.

In 614, the Persians occupied Jerusalem, burning many churches and monasteries and slaughtering thousands of Christian laymen and leaders. The event is reported by the monk Strategius who describes thirty five central sites and buildings in the city where the bodies were collected. Shortly thereafter, the patriarch Modestus embarked on repairs to some of the ruined churches, in particular the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. In 628, Jerusalem was returned to Byzantine hands during the emperor Heraclius' reign, and some efforts were made to restore the city to its previous splendor. However, the attempt was doomed to failure; in 638, the city surrendered to the Muslim army - a surrender that saved it from destruction. Christian Jerusalem slowly declined in the seventh and eighth centuries, gradually becoming a Muslim city.

Early Arab to Ayyubid Periods

History

Early Arab Period

Tumultuous events shook Jerusalem in the early seventh century. Within the span of a few years, the city changed hands several times. Each conquest brought with it destruction, followed by attempted reconstruction. The first occasion was the fall of Jerusalem to the Persian army under Chosroes II in 614. The Persian invaders, supported by a Jewish auxiliary force from the Galilee, broke into the city and slaughtered the Christian inhabitants. Christian religious institutions were systematically destroyed, including such important edifices as the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Church of the Ascension and many others.

After only fourteen years, a large Byzantine army headed by the emperor Heraclius - whose army the Persians had routed in 614 -- invaded the Persian Empire and Persian-occupied territories, including Syria and Palestine. In February 628 Heraclius marched into Jerusalem in a military-religious procession. Once again the city was to suffer acts of extreme violence. When the killing and destruction had abated, the Byzantine authorities set about repairing the ruins, particularly those of the holy places in and around Jerusalem. The excavations at the foot of the Temple Mount (see below) have revealed, besides the renovation work, evidence that the Temple Mount in particular had been the scene of large-scale, deliberate destruction. Perhaps Jewish involvement in the Persian occupation of Jerusalem and the ensuing destruction of churches inspired the Byzantine forces to wreak revenge by razing the already ruinous shrines on the Temple Mount. Lengthy sections of the walls of the enclosure were dismantled, their stones scattered in all directions. The excavators discovered many of the original, Herodian stones from the Temple Mount wall where they fell, on the ruins of private houses dated to the sixth century CE. The southern wall was particularly affected.

Only ten years later, Jerusalem changed hands again, falling to the Muslim Arabs. In 638, Jerusalem was conquered by the caliph Omar I, a newcomer from the Arabian deserts, who managed within a few years to defeat the two exhausted superpowers, Persia and the Byzantine Empire. Tradition has it that Omar himself, accompanied by his right-hand man Ka'b el-Akhbar, a converted Jew, visited the newly occupied city. It is told that he did not enter the precincts of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher to pray, but offered his devotions outside the building, in order to avoid offending Christian sensibilities and causing needless confrontations. On the other hand, he did ascend the ruined Temple Mount. There are no contemporary sources for events in Jerusalem in the first years of lslamic rule, nor is there anything in the archaeological record. Jerusalem became particularly important after the Umayyad caliphs came to power in 660. Realizing that physical force alone could not assure them of success in their struggle to supersede the Byzantine Christians as rulers of their newly captured possessions, they set about investing the city with religious significance for Muslims. It was the caliph Mu'awiyya who began to develop Jerusalem as a Muslim city. The development of Muslim Jerusalem reached its peak under his successors, and there was even an attempt to build a seat of political government in the heart of the city.

The reshaping of Jerusalem as a Muslim city, called Iliya or Ilya Bayt el-Maqdas by the Arabs, did not begin immediately after the Arab conquest of 638; most of the Christian population did not leave, and most of the Christian churches were left standing (although some had been damaged in the siege), as were the administration buildings. However, with the comimg of Muslim immigrants and the conversions that followed the Arab conquest, the proportion of Christians in the population fell steadily. The main changes in Jerusalem in this first stage took place on the Temple Mount and in its environs. The Dome of the Rock and el-Aqsa Mosque were built, the retaining walls of the mount were repaired, and a magnificent complex of government buildings was erected south and southwest of the mount. Historians believe that these activities expressed the conquerors' desire to demonstrate Islam's superiority over Christianity. Many scholars point to the similarity in plan and appearance between the Holy Sepulcher and the Muslim edifices on the Temple Mount as evidence of the competition between the two religions.

In the early years of the Early Arab period the authorities permitted Jews to settle in Jerusalem, for the first time in several centuries, and to establish their own quarter. The quarter may have been situated on the City of David spur (the exact location is still a matter of controversy), but later, in the eleventh century, it moved to the northeastern part of the city. The Early Arab period was also the formative period for the "ethnic" pattern of Jerusalem still apparent: the Muslim Quarter in the center of the city, the Christian Quarter in the northwest, and the Armenian Quarter in the southwest. There is almost no archaeological evidence for these processes, and our understanding is based exclusively on literary sources, the most important of which are the works of Muqaddasi (985) and Nasir-i-Khosrau (1047) and letters found in the Cairo Genizah that describe Jerusalem as Jews saw it at the time.

Several violent earthquakes in the Early Arab period contributed to the lack of material remains for the period. The first occurred in 658. Even before the great construction projects of the Umayyads were completed, another strong earthquake (the so-called "quake of the seventh [Sabbatical] year") shook the country in 747 or 749, damaging the el-Aqsa Mosque; the mosque was damaged again in 765. The sources report another earthquake in 808 that affected the entire city, possibly also the Temple Mount shrines. In 1016, another earthquake toppled the dome of the Dome of the Rock. The worst quake occurred in 1033, toward the end of the Early Arab period, changing the entire appearance of Jerusalem. The city walls, which that quake destroyed, were repaired over the next three decades (1034-1064) and built along the lines they now occupy. It was then that Mount Zion and the City of David were left outside the walled area. Mount Zion was again enclosed by a wall only during Saladin's reign. Another cause of widespread destruction was the frequent changes of government: the Umayyads (660-750) gave way to the Abbasids (750-878); subsequently, Ahmad Ibn Tulun seized power, purportedly in the name of the Abbasid caliphs, thus paving the way for the Ikhshid dynasty (935-969), which in turn was replaced by the Fatimids (969- 1071 and 1098). The persecution of nonbelievers, which reached its peak in 1009 with the destruction of Christian religious institutions - above all, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher - obscured the character of the city and changed its appearance. Only the Temple Mount remained the same, although even the el-Aqsa Mosque underwent certain alterations to repair earthquake damage.

Crusader Period

The Crusader conquest of Jerusalem, on July 15, 1099, ushered in a period of relative calm after decades of unrest. After the last vestiges of Muslim resistance (in the Citadel) had been suppressed, Jews and Muslims, considered unreliable elements by the new rulers, were expelled from the city, a "King of Jerusalem" was crowned, and a patriarch was elected. The sight of a fortified city was a novelty for most of its new Christian residents, for European cities were still in a primitive stage of development. At first, although they took over the property abandoned by the Muslims, the Crusaders, therefore, made no changes in the city's appearance. Only later did they initiate large-scale construction in Jerusalem - mainly of churches. The various markets, previously concentrated in the area of the Roman-Byzantine forum (see above, Roman and Byzantine periods), were now transferred to the main streets and shops were built along them; this feature of Crusader Jerusalem is still visible. When the Crusaders took Jerusalem, the city walls were only a few decades old, and so the conquerors changed nothing. Only after the Crusader period, under the Ayyubids, were the walls renovated; the Crusaders, for their part, refortified the Citadel, and the Templars built a new wall south of the Temple Mount. Here and there the Crusaders dismantled older buildings, as on the Temple Mount, where they destroyed any Muslim buildings they deemed useless - or detrimental - for their own needs. Thus, they converted the Dome of the Rock and el-Aqsa Mosque into churches, and the Temple Mount became a Christian site, invested with a variety of religious traditions. These Christian traditions were probably brought to Jerusalem not by the Crusaders, but by the city's indigenous Christian inhabitants, generally known as the "oriental Christians," who returned to Jerusalem and became a kind of link·between the Early Arab and Crusader periods. In fact, they were the sole element that could teach the Crusader colonizers of Jerusalem, most of them of peasant backgrounds, how to run a city.

A distinctive feature of Crusader Jerusalem was its cosmopolitanism: the population was made up, on the one hand, of the oriental Christian communities (Armenians, Georgians, Greeks, etc.) and, on the other, of the Franks, the newcomers from Europe. Among the latter were Frenchmen, Germans, Englishmen, Spaniards, Portuguese, and Hungarians. The large number of demographic elements in Jerusalem and the new settlement of Europeans required large-scale construction. Moreover, the Christian traditions relating to Jerusalem, both the older traditions that had long been current and those created in the Crusader period, prompted the construction of new churches and other religious institutions.

There exist a great variety and quantity of sources for the Crusader period, mainly documents of the religious-military orders and the major churches recording real estate transactions. As such documents concerning land and property generally included precise locations, they provide an important aid in identifying archaeological remains. The pilgrims who visited Jerusalem have also contributed to what is known of the Holy City, as do the descriptions written for Christians in Europe.

Because of Jerusalem's distance from the Mediterranean coast, the marine powers of the time (the Italian cities) had little interest in it and did not establish quarters here as they did, for example, at Acre. The privileges enjoyed by Christian settlers in Jerusalem, aimed at enlarging the city's Christian population, inspired a spate of economic activities and construction, all the more so as Jerusalem enjoyed considerable political calm for the whole of the twelfth century.

Architecture and architectural ornamentation in Jerusalem in the Crusader period were influenced both by the local - mainly Byzantine - and imported Romanesque art, then at its zenith in Europe. It was this commingling of the two styles that created the characteristic Christian art of Jerusalem. Most of the buildings of Crusader Jerusalem are still standing, although generally they are integrated in secondary use, in Muslim structures built in the Ayyubid and Mamluk period or later.

Ayyubid Period

The Ayyubid period begins with Saladin's conquest of Jerusalem on October 2, 1187. The Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem enhanced the city's importance in the Muslim world. The new rulers began by effacing every possible sign of Crusader rule. The cross marking the point where the Crusaders had breached the city wall was removed, as was the cross crowning the Dome of the Rock. Churches were converted to mosques, and the most celebrated of these, Saint Anne's, became a Muslim madrasa, or religious school, and a residence for dervishes. A minbar (preacher's pulpit) fashioned by Nur ed-Din in Aleppo was now brought to Jerusalem and installed in the el-Aqsa Mosque. Christian artwork in the Dome of the Rock and el-Aqsa Mosque was dismantled or plastered over. Saladin also added an inscription of his own in the Dome of the Rock.

The Hospitaller hospital south of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher now became a hospital for Saladin's men. The Crusader patriarch's palace became a khanqa, a dervishes' residence. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher was returned to the Greek Orthodox, who had been its proprietors prior to the Crusaders' arrival, but only a few Latin monks were permitted to serve there.

The city walls, built about 120 years earlier by the Fatimids, were renovated. This project is widely described in the sources. Saladin himself took part in the work, setting an example for his nobles and commanders. His main concern was to fortify the line from the Damascus to the Jaffa gates; but he also fortified Mount Zion and built a wall around it. Archaeological evidence for this fortification project was discovered by Bliss and Dickie in their 1894- 1897 excavations on Mount Zion and by the 1972 excavations in Zahal Square. These excavations exposed part of Saladin's system of walls and moats. After Saladin left Jerusalem, his brother el-Malik e1-'Adil continued to fortify the city; part of an inscription dedicated by this ruler was discovered in the Citadel. El-'Adil's son, el-Malik el-Mu'azzem 'Isa, did more than any other member of the dynasty to build and fortify Jerusalem, as attested by his numerous inscriptions discovered in the city.

Saladin's reason for fortifying Jerusalem was the Third Crusade, one of whose leaders, Richard the Lion Heart, king of England, spent some time in Palestine and came so close to Jerusalem as to present a threat to the Ayyubid ruler. However, the Crusaders made no attempt to reoccupy the city, for fear that lack of manpower would make it impossible for them to hold it. Saladin permitted Christians to visit Jerusalem in order to mollify Christian anger over their loss of the Holy City.

In 1219, el-Malikel-Mu'azzem 'Isa decided to demolish Jerusalem's walls and fortifications, fearing that a Crusader army might launch a surprise attack and take advantage of its strongholds. This decision had an adverse effect on the city's residents, many of whom left, refusing to live in an unfortified city (only the "Tower of David" was spared). Drawings made by travelers in subsequent centuries show that the destruction consisted mainly of large breaches in the walls. El-Malik el-Mu'azzem 'Isa continued the demolition in 1220 and 1227. Meanwhile, another crusade reached Palestine, led by the king of Sicily and Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II Hohenstaufen of Germany. In 1229, the latter concluded an agreement with el-Malik el-Kamil, according to which Jerusalem --- except for the Temple Mount - was handed over to the Christians. Christians ruled the city for the next fifteen years, but the Muslim inhabitants enjoyed considerable autonomy. Although a clause in the agreement between el-Malik el-Kamil and Frederick II prohibited any further fortification of Jerusalem, the emperor apparently received personal permission to fortify the city. It is not clear whether he made use of this permission, for he was in Jerusalem for three days (March 17-19, 1229), after which he returned to Europe. Before leaving, he bestowed gifts of property on the members of the Teutonic Order, which had assisted him - the Crusaders' royal palace (on the site of the present day Kishleh, near the Jaffa Gate Citadel) and the nearby Church of Saint Thomas.

A peasants' revolt against the restoration of Jerusalem to the Christians was suppressed by a Crusader army from the north of the country (1230). Shortly thereafter, the Ayyubid el-Malik Nasir Daoud attacked Jerusalem and besieged the Citadel. After a siege that lasted three weeks, he took the Citadel and decided to destroy it. (As the Citadel had been destroyed by el-Malik el-Mu'azzem 'Isa, it was probably rebuilt by Frederick II, and this new citadel was the one destroyed by el-Malik Nasir Daoud.) In 1240, another agreement was concluded between the Egyptian sultan el-Malik Salah Ayyub and Richard of Cornwall, who headed a new Crusader army. This agreement not only did not undermine Crusader control of Jerusalem, it in fact linked the city by a corridor to the Crusader kingdom in the coastal region. Further quarrels among the Ayyubid princes enabled the Crusaders to reach an agreement with the princes of Damascus (the Pact of Jaffa, 1244), which granted them the Temple Mount, which had been in Muslim hands since the agreement of 1229. Christian rites were then renewed in the Dome of the Rock. When the Egyptian Ayyubid prince realized that the Crusaders had collaborated with the princes of Damascus, he enlisted the aid of the Khwarizmians, who had been forced out of their homeland in Central Asia by the invading Mongols. The Khwarizmians stormed Jerusalem, routing the Crusaders and their Damascene allies. In July 1244, the almost unfortified city fell easily to the new invaders, who massacred the Christian inhabitants and put an end to Christian rule in Jerusalem.

Confused Nomenclature

Because the 1st century CE historian Josephus mistakenly identified a structural high sometimes called the western hill southwest of what is now the old city of Jerusalem as the Mount Zion of King David's time, this area in the modern city of Jerusalem is currently called Mount Zion. Nearby, close to the Jaffa Gate, is a structure known as the Tower of David or the Citadel. Neither the western hill (mistakenly called Mount Zion) or the Citadel (mistakenly called the Tower of David) bear any relation to the Mount Zion or the Tower of David from the time of King David.
