Confirmado pelo terrenoSítio escavado22–10 BC
Herod's port city, built from nothing on an open coast, with a harbour made of hydraulic concrete poured into the sea — a technique Josephus describes and divers have since sampled. It was the seat of the Roman governors of Judaea, which is where Acts keeps sending Paul.
…and commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.
