Abstract
While the port and palace districts of the ancient city of Caesarea have been excavated since the 1940s, the eastern wall and gate of the city have remained unexplored, buried under banana fields. By comparing existing roads and modern geography with the known layout of the ancient city, Dr. Joseph Rife of Vanderbilt University and his excavation team, of which I was a member, were able to unearth the remains of the eastern gate of the city, along with an inscription of the Legio VI Ferrata.
