In my paper I have tried to present briefly a history of Caesarea in Palestine, relying on the Greek and Latin sources. Originally, the city was called Straton’s Tower, but it became famous in the Roman Empire as Caesarea. I have described briefly how did Caesarea change from a small village to the capital of province Palestina Prima Metropolis. Among the authors who were used as the sources are Flavius Josephus, Georgios Synkellos, Eusebius of Caesarea, Procopius of Caesarea, Procopius of Gaza and Johannes Malalas.

The author examines the credibility of the Acts of the Apostles’ testimony about the centurion Cornelius and the Italian Cohort from Caesarea Maritima. The analysis of written sources and epigraphic data indicates that the presence of an Italian cohort at Caesarea was no coincidence. This troop performed a function quite unusual for the Roman army, being a sort of “peace-keeping force” preventing the escalation of the conflict between the Greeks and the Jews.
