Description
EnGev
"Ippo is not on the lakeshore as I believed. This group of houses is, I would say, the vanguard of Ippo, which is further inland. They land near a small natural harbor formed by the bed of a now-dry stream."[1]
Ippo
"The city, slightly above the lake level, extends over the first undulations of the high plateau beyond the lake that rises to the east to join to the southeast the mountains of the Auranitis and to the northeast the mountain group dominated by the great Hermon. It presents itself well, with its wealthy merchant houses and estates, and it is important as a road hub and center of many regions beyond the lake, as indicated by the milestones bearing the names of Gamala, Gadara, Pella, Arbela, Bosra, Gherghesa and others. It is very populous and heavily frequented by foreigners coming from neighboring cities for purchases, sales, or other business reasons. I see there are many Romans, civilians or military, among the crowd."[2]
