frankq Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Ptolemais was actually a viable port. (But it was outside Judea) It is highly possible that Titus arrived by sea. This was spring, the winds were good. Josephus doesn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
