Caesarea was a city and harbor built by Herod the Great about 25–13 BC. Today, its ruins lie on the Mediterranean coast of Israel about halfway between the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa. Caesarea was named to flatter the Caesar. The city became the seat of the Roman praefecti soon after its foundation. According to historian H.H. Ben-Sasson, Caesarea was the "administrative capital" beginning in 6 AD. In Byzantine times, Caesarea remained the capital until the early 8th century.
Perhaps one of the most impressive parts of ancient Caesarea was its harbor, Sebastos. At the time it was built in the 1st century BC, Sebastos Harbor ranked as the largest artificial harbor built in the open sea, enclosing around 100,000 m
