Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About

Horvat Maʿon (Hebrew) or Tell Maʿin / Khirbet el-Maʿin[1] (Arabic) is an archaeological site located Шаблон:Convert southwest of Gaza, Шаблон:Convert southwest of Kibbutz Nirim in the Negev, the arid southern portion of Israel; in the Roman period, the site is thought to have formed the western boundary of the Limes Palaestinae.[2]

A different Maon (Khirbet Ma'in), southeast of Hebron, near Carmel and Ziph, is mentioned in Шаблон:Bibleverse in the tribal territory of Judah, and not to be confused with Horvat Maon of the Negev.[3][4] Others have sought to place Horvat Maon of the Negev with Beth-baal-meon (Шаблон:Bibleverse) and Beth-meon (Шаблон:Bibleverse).[5]

Horvat Maʿon, under the name Menois, was the capital of Saltus Constantinianus,[6] also known as Saltus Constantiniaces,[7] an administrative district formed by either Constantine the Great or Constantius II.[8]

Excavations there have uncovered the Maon Synagogue, known for its mosaics adorned with various animals and likely built around 600 CE.[9][10] The date of the mosaic has been alternatively given as the first half of the 6th century, based on its style.[11]
