the storerooms complex
This concentration of 29 long rooms
surrounded by corridors was built by Herod to hold food, liquids, and
weapons. As Josephus describes them:
"For here had been stored a mass of corn, amply sufficient to last for years,
abundance of wine and oil, besides every variety of pulse and piles of dates."
(Josephus Flavius, The Wars of the Jews, VII, 296)
