Ancient Jerusalem in A.D. 66 is drawn as a bird's-eye view, a vantage point that lets the viewer take in the whole walled city at once, with a key to identify its principal buildings. The year matters: it marks the eve of the First Jewish-Roman War, when rising tensions with Rome soon led to the revolt that ended in the Roman siege and the destruction of the Second Temple in A.D. 70. Maps of this kind were popular in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when Bible illustrators and scholars sought to reconstruct the city of Jesus's time. Look at how the Temple Mount dominates the eastern side, and compare the placement of the walls and gates with later surveys of the site.
