Антонија
Опис
Tvrđava Antonia u Jerusalimu, smeštena u severozapadnom uglu hramskog područja. Pominje se kao "tvrđava" [Del 21:34 ; Del 21:37 ]. Sa stepenica ove tvrđave, Pavle je održao svoj čuveni govor okupljenom narodu ispod [Del 22:1 -21]. Prvobitno je to bilo mesto gde su se čuvale odežde prvosveštenika. Irod ju je utvrdio i nazvao Antonia u čast svog prijatelja Marka Antonija. Bila je velika i dominirala je hramom. Izgrađena je na steni, odvojena od brda Bezeta na severu jarkom dubokim oko 30 stopa i širokim 165 stopa.

информације из речника
Antonia
a fortress in Jerusalem, at the north-west corner of the temple area. It is called "the castle" (Acts 21:34; 21:37). From the stairs of this castle Paul delivered his famous speech to the multitude in the area below (Acts 22:1-21). It was originally a place in which were kept the vestments of the high priest. Herod fortified it, and called it Antonia in honour of his friend Mark Antony. It was of great size, and commanded the temple. It was built on a plateau of rock, separated on the north from the hill Bezetha by a ditch about 30 feet deep and 165 feet wide.
