| Summary: | After the time of the gospels, Melito of Sardis is the first Christian writer of whom we have a record to make reference to the place where Jesus was crucified. His references to the place of crucifixion have been thought to reflect knowledge of where the site of Golgotha was located within the plan of second-century Aelia Capitolina. However, a survey of all his references to the time and place of crucifixion indicates that they are governed by Melito's rhetorical purposes and are not historically reliable. |
