The Galilee earthquake of 363 was a pair of severe earthquakes that shook the Galilee and nearby regions on May 18 and 19. The maximum perceived intensity for the events was estimated to be 'X' [very destructive] on the European macroseismic scale. The earthquakes occurred on the portion of the Dead Sea Transform (DST) fault system between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba.
The earthquake severely damaged Sepphoris and Petra, while destroying the Nabratein synagogue. Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate's plan to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem may have been cancelled in part due to the damage caused by the earthquake.
