Anna Iamim, Caesarea Excavations
Two hits—and a miss. We know the locations of two of the three Herodian Augusteums in ancient Israel: One (shown in this reconstruction drawing) was at Caesarea Maritima, on the Mediterranean coast, and the other at Samaria-Sebaste in central Israel. The third is widely believed to have been at Banias, a scenic site overlooking a waterfall and dedicated to Pan.
