Quoted text:
“The gate was the public building par excellence of ancient Israel (and neighboring countries of the Middle East). In fact, together with the temple (which it could very much resemble in overall aspect), it constituted the only well-developed type of locale for virtually all public assemblies—political, juridical, commercial—and also religious (since the basis of public life was religious). In short, the heart of the ancient city was in its mouth” (Wright[1] 1988…)
