Doctors: Medical condition of Israeli injured in India bombing improving (Army Radio)
No to No. 4, the people living there did not speak Latin or Arabic, they spoke Aramaic, a Hebrew dialect. And I doubt the "Roman" soldiers spoke Latin. Rome at the time of the conquest of Judea was already using troops from countries it had conquered. (This eventually led to the demise of the Empire) Remains of Roman roads exist all over Europe and all of them lead to ARome. In Israel, there is the city built by Herod, with its port, theatre (fantastic acoustics), Hippodrome -- all borrowed from Rome. Pontius Pilate's grave is there as well. Why save additional Roman ruins?
