   Caesar
      the title assumed by the Roman emperors after Julius Caesar. In
      the New Testament this title is given to various emperors as
      sovereigns of Judaea without their accompanying distinctive
      proper names (John 19:15; Acts 17:7). The Jews paid tribute to
      Caesar (Matt. 22:17), and all Roman citizens had the right of
      appeal to him (Acts 25:11). The Caesars referred to in the New
      Testament are Augustus (Luke 2:1), Tiberius (3:1; 20:22),
      Claudius (Acts 11:28), and Nero (Acts 25:8; Phil. 4:22).

      Caesar Augustus, hence called Caesarea Sebaste (Gr. Sebastos =
      "Augustus"), on the site of an old town called "Strato's Tower."
      It was the capital of the Roman province of Judaea, the seat of
      the governors or procurators, and the headquarters of the Roman
      troops. It was the great Gentile city of Palestine, with a
      spacious artificial harbour. It was adorned with many buildings
      of great splendour, after the manner of the Roman cities of the
      West. Here Cornelius the centurion was converted through the
      instrumentality of Peter (Acts 10:1, 24), and thus for the first
      time the door of faith was opened to the Gentiles. Philip the
      evangelist resided here with his four daughters (21:8). From
      this place Saul sailed for his native Tarsus when forced to flee
      from Jerusalem (9:30), and here he landed when returning from
      his second missionary journey (18:22). He remained as a prisoner
      here for two years before his voyage to Rome (Acts 24:27; 25:1,
      4, 6, 13). Here on a "set day," when games were celebrated in
      the theatre in honour of the emperor Claudius, Herod Agrippa I.
      appeared among the people in great pomp, and in the midst of the
      idolatrous homage paid to him was suddenly smitten by an angel,
      and carried out a dying man. He was "eaten of worms" (12:19-23),
      thus perishing by the same loathsome disease as his granfather,
      Herod the Great. It still retains its ancient name Kaiseriyeh,
      but is now desolate. "The present inhabitants of the ruins are
      snakes, scorpions, lizards, wild boars, and jackals." It is
      described as the most desolate city of all Palestine.
