Photograph by George Steinmetz @geosteinmetz Masada was besieged by the Romans around 70 A.D., and they encircled it before building a earthen ramp (seen in center of photo) to capture the plateau from its determined Jewish inhabitants. The Zealots who defended it are said to have died in a mass suicide rather than submit to Roman rule.
