A Roman house, made entirely out of stone. No marble existed in this city, but plenty of rock and stone. In the foreground is the bedroom, with a privacy partition. To the right is the livingroom and dining area. In the background is the reception area with the large floor mosaic described on page 2.
The East Gate was constructed in the 12th century as the entrance into
Crusader City, which is why it is so heavily fortified. The route
you see leads to the Crusader-era church, which was destroyed by
the Arabs in 1291.
Horses once paraded up and down this seaside hippodrome, which is about
220 meters long. It also was the scene of many spectator battles,
including man v. man and man v. animal, the latter classification
including lions as combatants.
Caesaria also was known for its state-of-the-art sewer system, which basically was this avenue above. To the right, the outermost part of old Caesaria, before the parts of Crusader City and Arab sections begin.
