- Description
- Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Samaria was formerly a city of great importance in Palestine. It was situated on a hill of more than 300 feet elevation and was well adapted for a fortified capital. Its commerce and trader was extensive. In 722 B.C. there came a strong invading army of Assyrians and the city fell into their hands. The most prominent of the population were carried into exile and a mixture of all kinds of people constituted the population from that time on. The ruins here pictured show a part of the ruins of the city gate and wall."
