<p>The Burnt House is believed to have been set on fire during the Roman destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. According to <a title="Josephus" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus">Josephus</a>,  Jerusalem's Upper City was known for its wealth. It was located close  to the Temple and inhabited by priestly families who served in the  temple. The house was destroyed one month after the Temple and Lower  City. When the Romans stormed the Upper City, they found little  resistance: Much of the population was near death from disease and  starvation.</p> ]]></description>
