TELL HESBAN

It would be the old Hésébon mentioned in the Bible. The site occupied since the iron age then housed a city that was integrated into the ammonite kingdom before becoming a fortified town desired by Herod the Great. It became Esbus during the Roman period and then an important diocese in the fourth century. After becoming a abbasid fortress (ix) and then mamelouke in the th century, we heard no more talk.

Today, only remnants of the iron age (reservoir), caves occupied from the Neolithic, Roman lanes and Buildings (Temple), and ruins of Byzantine churches are still remains.
