![Mount Arbel (left of valley) as seen from the Sea of Galilee. In 38 BCE, we are told by Josephus, partisans of Antigonus fighting against Herod who was conquering the land with Roman support, were either killed in their cave hideouts or committed suicide.<br />
<br />
It is also Josephus who, writing about himself in the third person, tells us how he fortified the caves and used them as storage base at the beginning of the First Jewish–Roman War in the year 66 CE, when he was in charge of the defense of Galilee: “Moreover, he [Josephus] built walls about the caves near the lake of Gennesaret, which places lay in the lower Galilee". ~Wikipedia](https://photos.smugmug.com/Travels/Holy-Land-2020/Shoebox-Holy-Land/i-pNNVVSc/1/8735adf0/Ti/IMG_0153-Ti.jpg)
