The opening as it read in October 6, 2023
Roman-era ruin along the shore of the Sea of Galilee Not to be confused with Magdala . Tarichaea ( ), alternative spellings Taricheæ/Tarichaeae/Tarichee ; Tarichese ; Tarichess , is the Greek place name for a historic site of disputed location.1 It was situated along the shore of the Sea of Galilee , and mentioned in the writings of Josephus ( Ant . 14.120; 20.159; The Jewish War 1.180; 2.252; Vita 32, et al. ). Tarichaea was one of the first villages in Galilee to have sustained an attack by Rome, during the First Jewish-Roman War . The village (κώμη) attracted to it the seditious from the outlying regions east of Galilee, who mixed with the local townsfolk and who relied upon some 230 boats on the Sea of Galilee for protection in the event of an assault upon the village. When the village was eventually overrun by the Roman army, the population surrendered. Josephus, in Wars 4:455, gives to the town the designation of "village" (κώμη), which perhaps should not be taken literally, based on the number of its inhabitants.
