16) CAESAREA
Summary: Founded in 22 BC, Caesarea was the seat of the Roman government of Judea for
over five hundred years. King Herod built the city and named it in honor of Augustus Caesar.
Several events throughout the New Testament Book of Acts took place in Caesarea. As
mentioned in the section above, Peter came to Caesarea in response to his vision in Jaffa and
a command to go preach the Gospel to a man named Cornelius, a Roman official who
followed the God of Israel. Paul visited the city three times throughout his Gospel journeys
and spent two years in prison there.
