According to the Greek biographer Eunapius, the second most beautiful bath complex in the entire Roman Empire during the fourth century A.D. was located in, of all places, Palestine—at a site known as Hammat Gader.¹

Hammat Gader lies just five miles southeast of the Sea of Galilee in a huge crater-like depression at the foot of the Golan Heights. It is a beautiful site surrounded by green mountains, near the banks of the Yarmuk River.
