Eleutheropolis ("city of the free") was the Greek name of a Roman city in Israel, some 53 km southwest of Jerusalem. Its remains still straddle the ancient road to Gaza. The site— already rendered as Baitogabra in Ptolemy's Geography— was called Beit Guvrin and Bet Gubrin in the Talmud. Edward Robinson's identification of the depopulated Palestinian village of Beit Jibrin with the ancient city has been confirmed by archaeological excavations.
