Storia
Archelaïs was a town in the Roman province of Judaea/Palaestina, corresponding to modern Khirbet el-Beiyudat. It was founded by Herod the Great's son Archelaus to house workers for his date plantation in the Jericho area. It is represented on the Madaba mosaic map with a towered entrance flanked by two other towers.
