Nablus
Nablus is a city in the northern West Bank between Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim, next to the site of ancient Shechem. It was founded as Flavia Neapolis by the Romans in 72 CE, and its name derives from Neapolis. Under the Crusaders it was a royal domain and lordship, and it later became a centre of soap-making and of the small Samaritan community.
