Beautiful Ceaserea
After spending the last couple of days near the hotel. We decided to venture out . Ceaserea is near Haifa (just a short drive). We thought it would be easy enough to handle by ourselves. It was amazing !!! Eric and I both had never seen ruins like this before - Right on the beach , Waves crashing against the ancient harbor city . I was a little teary eyed as we learned Paul the Apostle was jailed here, Also a limestone block was excavated here with a clear inscription (part of a larger dedication) to Teberius Ceaser that read "from Pontius Pilate" . There are nice restaurants here . I can't wait to come back here and dine on the beach with a glass of wine surrounded by all the ancient city ruins .
This is the Hippodrome , In this amphitheater the Romans conducted horse races (Hippo is horse in Greek), special events, and gladiator games. Rulers and most distinguished guests came to watch the games . After all of this we are thinking about renting Gladiator tonight
The Palace Pool, Built somewhere around 40 BC
