The Northwest Line of the Third Wall of Jerusalem

tennis court. Later I noticed two other swells of ground continuing in the same line in the direction of the Bhb ez-Zahreh Quarter. The late Dr. C. S. Fisher, at the time Director of the above-mentioned American School, knew about my work since 1939 and was keenly interested. When in 1940 the Municipality started lowering a new road I saw at once the actual top of blocks of stone and reported at once to the authorities. As I expected, a tower was then found, which Dr. C. S. Fisher described in BULLETIN, No. 83 (1941). The second swell of ground noticed by me is about 75 m. further but has not been excavated up till now. The third one is 85 metres from the second, and was excavated by me in October, 1940. I found a whole islet of blocks of stone, being the remains of a tower and surrounded by rubble. I reported immediately to the Antiquities Department, to the Dominican Fathers and to Dr. C. S. Fisher. Enclosed is a photograph taken by me (facing north); see Fig. 1.

Roman Jerusalem

THE discovery of an interesting and important relic of the Roman occupation of Jerusalem is reported. The Department of Antiquities, it is stated by the correspondent of The Times in the issue of September 28, while conducting excavations in connexion with the plan of the municipality for clearing away buildings from the Damascus Gate, has brought to light a Roman moulded plinth ten feet high, of which the top was found at a depth of thirteen feet below the surface. The plinth consists of massive blocks of stone, which, it is said, recall the finest work of the Roman period. The site has been identified provisionally with the city gate beside the "Women's Towers", mentioned by Josephus. It is hoped that excavation will be carried further in the expectation that it will throw light on the much-discussed problem of the Third Wall of Jerusalem.
