Description

This study attempts to give a comprehensive picture of the estate of the Tobiad family at Tyros in the territory of Ammon. The site is some 20km. west-south-west of present-day Amman, capital of Jordan, and is now called Airaq al-Amir. The Tobiad family played an important role in the history of Judaea over a period of more than three hundred years and the study will examine them in the context of their estate at Tyros, during the turmoil of the Hellenistic phase of Jewish history.
