Description: "This book is the product of extensive excavations conducted in Caesarea from the early 1990s by archaeological expeditions from Israel and abroad. The structures and small finds uncovered in these and earlier excavations, and works of restoration and development that followed them, transformed ancient Caesarea into a world-class tourist attraction. An analysis of all the findings on the basis of a variety of historical sources and the many inscriptions from the site, makes it possible to revise the history of Caesarea in detail and to provide the visitor to the historical city a comprehensive guide."--Back cover.
