Samaria and Its Capabilities in Biblical and Roman Eras
The piece reviews Omri and Ahab's founding of Samaria on the hill bought from Shemer and its later Roman Sebasteia status. It notes Samaria's strategic location, commerce, and later neglect compared with Jerusalem, with Dr. Reisner’s excavations at Samaria yielding ostraka but no Omri or Ahab archives. It highlights the site as a favorable target for future study, while fittingly contrasting with Herod’s Sebasteia and Jerusalem’s modern disturbance.
