When Agrippa I, an adventurous Roman-Judean prince, was forced to flee Rome as a political fugitive, he sought refuge in an abandoned, windswept fortress at Malatha. Hidden deep within the desolate Negev desert, this remote stronghold became his sanctuary from the grandeur -- and danger -- of the Julio-Claudian world he left behind. Malhata is one of a group of fortresses on the Roman-Judaean frontier with Nabataea (roughly equivalent to modern Jordan). This fortress, located on a tel in the southern portion of the group, is associated with the remains of a Roman road and occupied a strategically central position on an important crossroads between southern Roman Palestine and central Judaea, and between the Dead and Mediterranean seas. It was also on the Roman sector of the Frankincense Trail caravan trade route with the Arabian Peninsula. As well, it is believed to have been 'Malatha', mentioned by the Roman- Jewish historian Josephus as the location where the fugitive Herodian prince, Agrippa I, hid when forced to fiee his privileged life in Rome among the Julio-Claudians. An archaeological excavation report and GIS spatial analysis of Malhata reveal information on the fortress' purpose, and support its being the location where Agrippa hid. This publication contains material similar to Fugitive Prince: The Negev Hideout of Agrippa I at Malhata, Book #3 in the series, Roman Provincial Shadows.
