CAESAREA

CAESAREA. The name of several important cities, two of which were episcopal sees in the ancient church: Caesarea Maritima in Palestine and Caesarea in Cappadocia (q.v.). Both were regional centers, i.e., capitals of their respective provinces, and thus the home of archbishops or metropolitans. Caesarea in Palestine, formerly “Straton’s Tower” and rebuilt by Herod the Great as his chief port with a remarkable harbor, was visited by the apostles (q.v.) Peter, Paul, and Philip, and was later the residence of Origen, Bishop Eusebius (qq.v.), and Jerome. It was captured by the Crusaders (q.v.) in 1101 and demolished by them in 1265. Basil the Great (q.v.) made the other Caesarea, his see in Cappadocia, famous in the latter half of the 4th c. and it remained a locus of ecclesiastical activity until the 11th c.
