Years: 10BCE - 10BCE

Caesarea Maritima, where Herod has built his palace on a promontory jutting out into the sea, with a decorative pool surrounded by stoas, had in 13 BCE become the civilian and military capital of Iudaea Province and the official residence of the Roman procurators.

Josephus describes the harbor as being as large as the one at Piraeus, the major harbor of Athens.

Herod in 10 BCE completes the construction of the city.
