The Swimming Pool, prior to restoration. Note that all the facing stones had fallen off the bridge except for those in the lowest, right-hand course. This is very likely the same pool in which in 36 B.C. the high priest, Aristobulus III, was drowned at Herod’s order. (See “The Winter Palaces of Jericho,” BAR 03:02.)
