Over the past five years, Vanderbilt researchers and students working at the ancient port-city of Caesarea Maritima, on the north coast of modern-day Israel, have unearthed tantalizing clues to life in the city during the Early Islamic period as well as the best-preserved remains yet discovered of Herod the Great\u2019s famous Temple of Rome and Augustus. These finds shed light on an oft-overlooked period in Mediterranean history and give scholars a fresh look at a world-famous monument destroyed long ago.<\/p>\n
