Rammun ((アラビア語:رمّون)) is a Palestinian town in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate in the central West Bank, located twelve kilometers east of Ramallah and three kilometers south of Taybeh. Other nearby towns include Deir Dibwan to the southwest, Beitin to the east and Ein Yabrud to the northeast.〔(A Byzantine Tomb at the Village of Rammun ) Taha, Hamada. Palestinian Department of Antiquities.〕 ==History and archeology== Mosaics and ancient cisterns have been found.〔Dauphin, 1998, p. 835〕 Van der Velde (in 1854) assumed that Rammun was the place mentioned in the Bible as ''Rimmon'', Sela Rimmon. The ''Rock of Rimmon'' was where the Benjamites fled (Judges 20:45, 47; 21:13), and where they maintained themselves for four months after the battle at Gibeah.〔van der Velde, 1854, p. (284 )〕 It also is suggested to be the town of Rimmon mentioned in the Map of Madaba, located fifteen miles north of Jerusalem, between Bethel and Jericho.〔 There are Byzantine, Crusader, Ayyubid, Mamluk and Ottoman remains in the town including a mosaic in the town's mosque, an ancient burial cave and sanitary pit. The burial cave dates back to Byzantine times and contained pottery lamps, sandals and cross-shaped medallions.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rammun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
