Archaeology and historical context of Emmaus.
Emmaus Archaeology and Historical Background
Several sites have been proposed for Emmaus, each containing archaeological remains of Roman roads, settlements, and agricultural installations. The road networks match the Gospel description of a village about threescore furlongs from Jerusalem. The archaeological landscape provides context for the risen Jesus walking with two disciples, opening the Scriptures, and revealing Himself in the breaking of bread.
