This print illustrates this region in ancient Samaria showing a view of turbaned men, some on horseback, at Sabaste in the Hills of Ephraim, the central region of present-day Israel. Sabaste was originally called Samaria and had been the capital of Israel during the Divided Kingdom. Samaria became the name for the entire northern region. Herod the Great (73-4 BCE) built the fortress of Sabaste over the ruins of Samaria on top of a mountain. He ordered the construction of an enormous colonnade of imported marble leading from the base of the mountain to the summit. Roberts dated this sketch April 17, 1839.
