Roman and Byzantine settlement, Israel

"The settlement seems to have been especially prosperous during the fifth and sixth centuries a.d."

I'm just happy Archeology Magazine used A.D. (anno domini: Year of Our Lord) instead of the silly C.E (Common Era).

The town too tough to die: ‘It had a man for breakfast every morning’.

I’m always interested in reading about prominent Roman / Byzantine settlements like this that ultimately faded away and became ruins. Antioch and Palmyra come to mind too. It makes me wonder how many US cities will be ruins in a thousand years.
