On two occasions in his description of the siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE, Josephus mentions
the "Camp of the Assyrians" as the area in which Titus’ quarters were located. The historian’s
account suggests that the location of this site meant that it played an important role in the
battles at the city walls. Scholars do not agree on where it was situated, despite the significance of
this fact for accurate reconstruction of the progression of the siege of Jerusalem as well as determining
the course of the so-called Third Wall. Analysis of the literary and archaeological evidence
leads to the conclusion that the name "Camp of the Assyrians" refers to an area lying north-west
of the present-day walls of Jerusalem, whose southern borders are demarcated by the remains of
an ancient wall unearthed during archaeological excavations and identified by archaeologists as
the Third Wall.
