Nablus or "The Uncrowned Queen of Palestine" as historians call it, is located 63 km north of Jerusalem between Mt. Gerzim and Mt. Ebal. The Roman Emperor Titus founded it in 72 AD in honor of his father Flavius Vespasian and it was called Flavia Neapolis, the "New City". In the early centuries of Christianity, Neapolis was the scene of constant strife between the local Samaritan and Christian populations. The Samaritan revolt against Rome in 529 AD was severely put down by Emperor Justinian and most of the Samaritans were expelled. An ancient city with a rich history, Nablus has a long biblical history, and has major significance in Judaism, and is important to Christianity and Islam. Besides Abraham's ties to the area, the city contains religious sites such as Joseph's Tomb, Jacob's Well, the site of Dinah's rape, location of the Middle Bronze Gate, where the Israelites rejected Rehoboam and also the location of the destroyed Samaritan temple. Near a Greek Orthodox monastery there is a well associated with that of the Biblical figure Jacob. In the New Testament, this is the well at which Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman. A site nearby is considered by Jews to be the Joseph's Tomb.
