Description
During a trip to Israel I was able to briefly visit an amazing archaeological site at Caesarea Maritima which is located on the Mediterranean Sea. This photograph was taken of the ancient remains of a Roman aqueduct that brought water into the city. "The Aqueduct brought running water to the old city of Caesarea, along a raised aqueduct. The source of the water was the springs of Shummi, 10KM away. Herod build the aqueduct in the 1st C BC. later, in the 2nd C AD it was expanded by the Romans. Later, 2 more aqueducts were built."
