haven did the
narrow streets of the city lead, and were built at equal distances
one from another. And over against the mouth of the haven, upon an
elevation, there was a temple for Caesar, which was excellent both in
beauty and largeness; and therein was a Colossus of Caesar, not less
than that of Jupiter Olympius, which it was made to resemble. The other
Colossus of Rome was equal to that of Juno at Argos. So he dedicated the
city to the province, and the haven to the sailors there; but the
honor of the building he ascribed to Caesar, [34] and named it Cesarea
accordingly.

8. He also built the other edifices, the amphitheater, and theater, and
market-place, in a manner agreeable to that denomination; and appointed
games every fifth year, and called them, in like manner, Caesar's
Games; and he first himself proposed the largest prizes upon the hundred
ninety-second olympiad; in which not only the victors themselves, but
those that came next to them, and even those that came in the third

a city that lay on the coast, and had been demolished in the wars, and
named it Agrippeum. Moreover, he had so very great a kindness for his

fine building, and dedicated it to his mother, and called it Cypros.
Moreover, he dedicated a tower that was at Jerusalem, and called it
by the name of his brother Phasaelus, whose structure, largeness, and
magnificence we shall describe hereafter. He also built another city in
the valley that leads northward from Jericho, and named it Phasaelis.

10. And as he transmitted to eternity his family and friends, so did he
not neglect a memorial for himself, but built a fortress upon a mountain
towards Arabia, and named it from himself, Herodium [35] and he called
that hill that was of the shape of a woman's breast, and was sixty
furlongs distant from Jerusalem, by the same name. He also bestowed much
curious art upon it, with great ambition, and built round towers all
