BHD on Machaerus

BIBLE HISTORY DAILY has published two essays on Machaerus, the reputed site of the execution of John the Baptist:

Machaerus: Beyond the Beheading of John the Baptist. Explore the site with reconstructions of the Herodian palace.

Anastylosis at Machaerus, Where John the Baptist was Beheaded. Restoration work gives archaeological context to Biblical scene (Megan Sauter).

I also noted the first one when it came out in 2015. As usual, both essays are summaries of BAR articles that are behind the subscription wall.
