Abstract

In my paper I have tried to present briefly a history of Caesarea in Palestine, relying on the Greek and Latin sources. Originally, the city was called Straton’s Tower, but it became famous in the Roman Empire as Caesarea. I have described briefly how did Caesarea change from a small village to the capital of province Palestina Prima Metropolis. Among the authors who were used as the sources are Flavius Josephus, Georgios Synkellos, Eusebius of Caesarea, Procopius of Caesarea, Procopius of Gaza and Johannes Malalas.
