Hippos
Hippos (, "horse")〔.〕 is an archaeological site in Israel, located on a hill overlooking the Sea of Galilee. Between the 3rd century BC and the 7th century AD, Hippos was the site of a Greco-Roman city, which then declined under Muslim rule and was abandoned after an earthquake in 749. Besides the fortified city itself, Hippos controlled two port facilities on the lake and an area of the surrounding countryside. Hippos was part of the Decapolis, or Ten Cities, a region in Roman Jordan, Syria and Israel that were culturally tied more closely to Greece and Rome than to the Semitic ethnoi around.
Established as ''Antioch of Hippos'' () by Seleucid settlers, the city is named after the Greek language word for horse, ''Hippos'', and a common name of Seleucid monarchs, ''Antiochus''. The Aramaic name, Sussita ((ヘブライ語:סוסיתא)), was also adopted into Hebrew and also means horse, while the Arabic name, Qal'at al-Hisn, means "Fortress of the Horse/Stallion". Other names include the alternate spelling Hippus and the Latinized version of the Greek name: Hippum. The precise reason why the city received this name is unknown.
==Location==
Hippos was built on a flat-topped foothill east of and above the Sea of Galilee, above sea level, near modern Kibbutz Ein Gev. The site is just on the Israeli side of the 1949 UN-demarcated border between Syria and Israel.
