Powersshots > Ampitheater at Caesarea by the Sea. This is most likely the place where Paul spoke to King Agrippa.

Acts 26:28Then Agrippa said to Paul, "Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?"

29Paul replied, "Short time or long—I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains."

Powersshots > Ruins of Herod's summer palace

Powersshots > In 1962 the "Pontius Pilate Stone" was discovered, which provides tangible evidence of Pilate's presence in Judea in Jesus' time and gives clarification of his title. It is believed to say that 'Pontius Pilate, the prefect of Judaea, built and dedicated the Tiberieum [probably a temple or shrine dedicated to the Emperor Tiberius] to the Divine Augustus.'"

Powersshots > Mediterranean Sea

Powersshots > Unsure, but believe these may be water purifiers located beside the remains of Caesarea by the Sea (Herod's summer palace).

Powersshots > Looking across the ruins of Herod's summer palace to a modern building on the point.

Powersshots > There are no natural sources of water at Caesarea. The first aqueduct (of four) was built by Herod (37BC to 4BC), at the time the new city was founded and dedicated to the Roman Caesar, Augustus. The water flowed on a single raised canal, and in one section it is dug into the rock.
