Ancient synagogues in Palestine

Ancient synagogues in the Land of Israel are synagogues and their remains in the Land of Israel/Palestine region (today's Israel, Palestinian, and the Syrian Golan Heights), built by the Jewish and Samaritan communities from the time of the Hasmonean dynasty during the late Hellenistic period to the late Byzantine period. Numerous inscriptions have been found in the ancient synagogues of the Land of Israel; the vast majority of these, c. 140, are in Palestinian Jewish Aramaic, with another c. 50 in Koine or early Medieval Greek, and a few in Hebrew.
