Shimshit 

 

   Khirbet Shimshit is a Roman/Byzantine village 3KM southwest to Sepphoris, on a hill overlooking the Zippori Creek. A Roman road passed at its western foothills, the main road from Sepphoris to the south (Legio/Megiddo).

 

   The ancient village was established on the hill in the Roman period. The village prospered from the trade road from Sepphoris that passed at its foothills and its residents farmed the fields along the fertile valley of the Zippori creek.


   As most of the sites in Galilee, the village was destroyed in the Arab period (7th C A.D.) and remained in ruins since then.
