Assif Am-David (Israel):
Despite having lived in Caesarea for several years I see no reason to inscribe it. Bet Shean is a much more impressive Roman city in Israel and is on the T list as well. Caesarea's best feature is its aqueduct which is very nice to visit being located along the sea shore. It used to serve as the province's Capital and was the largest city in Israel at the time and a major sea port. Only a small part of what is known to have been its territory has been excavated though so if excaviations conitinue my attitude may change accordingly.
The Crusadean fortification are very impressive and merit a visit on their own right. Date posted: May 2008
