Gamla, a Jewish fortress on the Golan plateau, was one of the last strongholds of the Great Revolt against Rome (66–73 CE). Josephus describes its siege by Vespasian (67 CE) and the collective suicide of its defenders. Archaeological excavations have uncovered a 1st-century synagogue, one of the oldest known.

The days of this book

This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Gamla give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.
