A.D. 70 Jerusalems Western Wall

• was spared, in order to afford a camp for such

  forti-fied, which the Roman valor had sub-dued
  but for all the rest of the wall, it was so
  thoroughly laid even with the ground by those
  that dug it up to the foundation, that there was

  believe it Jerusalem had ever been inhabited
