A newly published study suggests that the siege laid by the Roman army to the Judean desert fortress of Masada in 73 CE lasted no more than a few weeks, contrary to the long-held belief that the siege against a band of Jewish rebels lasted three years.
The Tel Aviv University (TAU) study utilized a range of modern technologies, including drones with remote sensors and 3D digital modeling to generate the first objective, quantified analysis of the elements involved in the siege.
