Caesarea
1984
In 1984, I, as an independent photographer, was asked to photograph the ancient Roman city of Caesarea, in what is now Israel. It is the most complete set of photographs of this 1500-year-old site. Caesarea contains archeological remains that date from the times of the ancient Romans, Byzantines, Hebrews, Crusaders and Muslims.
The photographs are black and white and some color.
