Sepphoris / Diocaesarea

Recommended Posts

As you know, Nazareth (where Jesus lived), was a satellite village (vicus) of a Roman Town 4 miles away, Sepphoris (Latin: Diocaesarea), where mosaics among other things have been unearthed by archaeologists. It's likely that Diocasaerea is where Jesus worked as a Carpenter or traded there. Since this important settlement does not appear in the Antonine Itineraries or Peutinger Map (see below), what sources have scholars used to determine it's existence as a town?
