From the Taking of Jerusalem by Antiochus Epiphanes to the Death of Herod the Great - Flavius Josephus

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, (3) 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

tower that was at Jerusalem, and called it by the name of his brother
Phasaelus, whose structure, largeness, and magnificence we shall describe

Jericho, and named it Phasaelis.

neglect a memorial for himself, but built a fortress upon a mountain towards
Arabia, and named it from himself, Herodium (4) and he called that hill that
was of the shape of a woman's breast, and was sixty furlongs distant from
