During construction of the Galei Kinneret Hotel at Tiberias, on the Sea of Galilee, Israeli archaeologists discovered a 2,000-year-old stadium. According to the first-century Jewish historian Josephus, Romans used the stadium not only for races and gatherings, but also to imprison and execute Jews who lost a battle against the Romans on the Sea of Galilee in A.D. 67.
