Er-Ramthaniyye (Arabic: رﻣﺴﺎﻧﻴﺔ or اﻟﺮﻣﺜﺎﻧﻴﺔ),[1] is a former Syrian village located in the Golan Heights.[2]

History

edit

In CE 377, a sanctuary for John the Baptist was established inside a monastery at Er-Ramathiniyye.[3] The sanctuary was often visited by Ghassanids,[4] and the village had annual celebrations for the Baptist.[5]

Excavation has revealed a chapel, burial cave and sherds from the Late Roman era.[6] Christian inscriptions in Greek and tombstones from the Byzantine period with Greek inscriptions have also been found at the site.[7] The village was inhabited during the Ottoman era.[8]

Gottlieb Schumacher visited the site in the 1880s and documented crosses, ornaments and Greek inscriptions.[9]

After Israel occupied the area in the Six-Day War, they began destroying Syrian villages in the Golan Heights.[10][11] Ramthaniyye was destroyed in 1967.[12] The population before the war was 1304.[12]
