Josephus states that the Temple Mount was "six furlongs around, including Fort Antonia."<ref>Flavius Josephus, ''The Wars of the Jews'', Book V, 5:2.</ref> The temple and Antonia were both squares with sides of 1 furlong. A biblical furlong is 606.75 modern feet (185 meters). In modern terms, Josephus gives dimensions of 607 X 1,214 ft (185 X 370 m). The Temple Mount was substantially enlarged by Hadrian in the second century. The modern dimensions are 1,020 ft (313 m) across the north, 1,530 ft (470 m) in the east, 910 ft (280 m) in the south, and 1,578 ft. (485 m) in the west. Since the Herodian Temple Mount was much smaller that current site, it is unlikely that walls on the edge of the current Temple Mount, such as the Western Wall, were part of it.
