Caesarea Philippi (Καισάρεια ἡ Φιλίππου), situated at the foot of Lebanon near the sources of the Jordan in Gaulanitis, and formerly called Paneas (ἥν Πανεαδα Φοίνικες προσαγορεύουσιν, Eus. h. e. 7, 17); but after being rebuilt by Philip the tetrarch, it was called by him Caesarea in honor of Tiberius Caesar (Josephus, Antiquities 18, 2, 1f); subsequently it was called Neronias by Agrippa II., in honor of Nero (Josephus, Antiquities 20, 9, 4); now Banias, a village of about 150 ((?)

Caesarea (more fully Caesarea of Palestine (modern Kaisariyeh)), built near the Mediterranean by Herod the Great on the site of Strato's Tower, between Joppa and Dora. It was provided with a magnificent harbor and had conferred upon it the name of Caesarea, in honor of Augustus. It was the residence of the Roman procurators, and the majority of its inhabitants were Greeks (Josephus, Antiquities 13, 11, 2; 15, 9, 6; 19, 8, 2; b. j. 2, 9, 1): Acts 8:40; Acts 9:30; Acts 10:1, 24; Acts 11:11; Acts 12:19; Acts 18:22; Acts 21:8, 16; Acts 23:23, 33; Acts 25:1, 4, 6, 13. Cf. Winers RWB (and BB. DD.) under the word Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Καισάρεια, as it is a name derived from Latin and used in the context of the Roman Empire. However, the concept of cities named in honor of rulers can be seen in various instances throughout the Old Testament, where cities are often named after significant figures or deities. Usage: The term Καισάρεια refers to two distinct locations mentioned in the New Testament: Caesarea Maritima and Caesarea Philippi. Both were significant in the context of early Christianity and the Roman Empire. Context: • Caesarea Maritima: This city was located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the region of Samaria. It was built by Herod the Great between 22 and 10 BC and named in honor of Caesar Augustus. Caesarea Maritima served as the Roman administrative capital of Judea and was a major port city. It is frequently mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles. Notably, it was the residence of the Roman governor, and it is where the Apostle Paul was imprisoned before being sent to Rome (Acts 23:23-35). The city was also the site of Peter's meeting with Cornelius, the Roman centurion, marking a significant moment in the spread of the Gospel to the Gentiles (Acts 10:1-48).
