Sepphoris 3: The Temple and the Eastern Church in the Lower City The focus of this volume is the result of excavations in the insula southeast of the intersection of the city's two colonnaded streets, where six construction phases were revealed dating from the first through the early eighth centuries CE. Key findings include a Roman temple, a large church, a residential quarter, and shops. The findings underscore Sepphoris's role as a significant urban center, reflecting its historical transformations and the complex interplay of religious and cultural identities.
