Throne Room Forecourt

A view looking south at the forecourt of the Throne Room of Herod the Great. Notice the carved plaster on the walls that has been carved to look like Herodian masonry. They have smooth bosses and narrow margins. Compare the stones in the foundation of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Everything above the black lines is reconstructed.
