13"x19" signed print: archival pigmented inks on matte watercolor paper The 200-meter stretch of wall running south of the Citadel encompasses centuries of history. The sixteenth-century wall was built essentially on the line of the second-century b.c.e. Hasmonean city wall. The tower just to the right of the Citadel has a medieval base that slopes back to the sixteenth-century upper section. To the right of this tower is an extended section of the Ottoman wall. At the base of the wall are Hasmonean wall fragments. In the foreground are organized stonework remains of the Herodian wall and an Herodian tower, pieces of the Hasmonean wall, and, in the near foreground, fragments of a seventh-century b.c.e. house. It was at this point in the old city walls that the Roman broke through in 70 c.e. to take the Upper City.
