Talk:Caesarea Maritima

message: It was a far from universal practice to build Christian churches on the sites of pagan temples.  It sometimes happened because the temple occupied the most prominent spot in a city which the Christian community would naturally feel to be more suitable for a church, or because a temple's podium was a convenient pre-built foundation. Some of the more exceptionally beautiful pagan temples, such as the Pantheon in Rome or the Parthenon in Athens, were simply taken over intact.  But the Christians of the time were more likely to regard a pagan temple site as accursed.  They never regarded it as sacred because of its former use. Csernica 09:26, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This is uninformed, as everyone who knows any details of the founding of any Christian church in the first five or six hundred years will immediately realize. Think of any church, large or small, founded before ca 800. A large class of exceptions, however, are churches built on the sites of shrines over the tombs of prominent figures (the Basilica of Saint Peter etc) or developing from abbeys. This is a historical phenomenon not without interest. There is no need to disguise it. --Wetman 15:26, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: (Taking the above with a grain of salt, the informed reader might want to add a further category, of early Christian churches that were adapted from the basilicas of private individuals to the categories of those founded on consecrated pagan sites or to mark shrines. --Wetman 05:13, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

message: According to the Caesarea Philippi article, Caesarea Philippi is in the Golan Heights which is disputed between Israel and Syria.  Saying that it is in Israel is not NPOV. Sowelilitokiemu 03:53, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Israel holds the Golan Heights.  Syria has sour grapes about losing a war they started; that doesn't make their whining fact.  Regardless, this is not the article on Caesarea Philippi, so why mention it here?  Rogue 9 14:45, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

message: According to whom? In my reading, sources have not regarded it as such. Instead, they typically mention that it later become a center of Christian scholarship (one of many), due to Origen, such as mentioned by PBS Frontline's website. --Vassyana (talk) 06:10, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Catholic Encyclopedia: Jerusalem (A.D. 71-1099): "As the rank of the various sees among themselves was gradually arranged according to the divisions of the empire, Caesarea became the metropolitan see; the Bishop of Ælia [Jerusalem as renamed by Hadrian] was merely one of its suffragans. The bishops from the siege under Hadrian (135) to Constantine (312) were:". 75.15.201.5 (talk) 21:55, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

message: In the lead section alone we have four different styles: 133 AD, A. D. 70, CE 134 and 6. Unlike (apparently) vast numbers of Wikipedians, I don't have particularly strong views on which of these styles is best... but I think some consistency would be in order.

message: I'm traslating this article for Wikipedia in Spanish and I read that this the main Roman city of Judea. It's true that this city was the main place for the politics and military of all the area but acording to this map Caesarea it's on Samaria, not in Judea.--CarlosVdeHabsburgo (talk) 23:05, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: This means Roman Judaea (province) as opposed to Judaea (region). It so happens that the Samaria region was part of the Judaea province. From the 2nd century onward, it's Syria Palaestina in any case. --dab (𒁳) 07:48, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
