Description
Occupation at the site of Paneas, also known as Caesarea Philippi and Baniyas, spanned some 2300 years, from the establishment of a small sanctuary devoted to the cult of Pan in the Hellenistic period, to the prosperous Roman capital and polis Caesarea Philippi, and becoming a Christian pilgrimage site known as Paneas in the Byzantine period; following the Muslim conquest, a formidable fortress stood here during the Middle Ages, when the site was known as Baniyas, and finally a poor Ottoman village abandoned in modern times.
This is the first volume of a series documenting the large-scale IAA excavations at Paneas. The present volume concentrates on the results of excavations in the city’s civic center during 1988–2000, presenting the stratigraphy and architecture of the Roman to Early Islamic periods, as well as mosaics, pottery and glass finds. Further small finds are presented in the second volume (IAA Reports 38).
