Livias (original) (raw)

Livias was a city in Transjordan in Classical Antiquity. In the writings of Josephus (English translation), the name is presented as Julias. Numerous authors have presented a chain of evidence connecting Beth-Haram from the Book of Joshua (Josh. 13:27), considered to be the same as Bethharan from Numbers (Num. 32:36), with Talmudic Beit Ramata (Hebrew: בית רמתה) and Roman-period Betharamtha (Βηθαραμθα) or Betharamphtha.
