 It is this Roman road and temple complex that some scholars believe was referred to by Flavius Josephus in descriptions of the Golan region.Given its proximity to Banias and the presence of Corinthian temple ruins, it is likely that Omrit is the site of the third temple built of limestone and plaster by King Herod in Honor of Augustus around 20 BCE.Omrit is situated on a low hill overlooking Hula Lake.
