Album Info:
Caesarea also figures prominently in the religious history of the area. Herod built a great Roman temple here dedicated to the Divine Augustus. Half a century later, Peter and Paul visited the city (as recorded in the New Testament book of Acts). And towards the end of the 1st century, mistreatment of Jews in Caesarea led to the First Jewish Revolt (66-70 AD). In the 3rd and 4th centuries, Caesarea became a major center of both Jewish and Christian scholarship, with several rabbinical schools and a great library founded by Origen of Alexandria. Eusebius, the first church historian, was bishop of Caesarea (315-30). In the early Middle Ages, the city traded hands between Muslims and Crusaders several times; much of what remains dates from the Crusader era.
