Caesarea
Between 22 and 9 BC, King Herod built the city of Caesarea Maritima on the Mediterranean
coast, which is now located within the modern state of Israel. This was the city where Paul
was imprisoned for two years before he went to Rome to stand before Caesar, the Roman
Emperor. At the time it was a Gentile city, with a small Jewish quarter at its northern end.
Herod loved Roman culture, and built a theatre, an amphitheater, and a temple to Caesar
Augustus, who the city was named after.
Recently, archaeologists have discovered the ruins of these ancient buildings. Beneath
the streets of Caesarea, they uncovered an elaborate system of sewers and drains, just as
the historian Josephus described. They further excavated the Herodian theater and the
amphitheater on the coast, where Herod sponsored chariot races. On the temple platform
above the harbor on its eastern side, they identified Herod’s temple of
Augustus, which featured huge statues of the goddess Roma and of
Caesar Augustus. To the south they discovered the promontory palace
where Paul lay in prison and defended himself before King Agrippa.
Today, you can visit the ruins and see for yourself where Paul was
imprisoned.

Roman grain ships
This article explains the importance of Roman grain ships.
Read the text and answer the questions on the next page.
Grain freighters
“There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy and put us on board.” (Acts 27:6)
Paul mostly likely traveled on an Alexandrian grain ship to Rome. The Alexandrian ships given the
task of feeding Rome had to be the biggest, safest, and fastest ships of their day. A typical grain
freighter was 140 feet long and 36 feet wide. They had between one and three masts, and big
square sails. Instead of what we think of as a rudder, they steered with paddles on the back part
of the ship. Because of this bulky design, they couldn’t sail into the wind very easily. These Roman
cargo ships regularly sailed between Alexandria in Egypt and the Italian ports, laden with grain
from the Nile Delta to feed the people of Rome. A normal crossing from Alexandria to Rome
usually took 13 days.
Because Egypt was the main source of Rome’s grain supply, Egypt did
not share in the general economic freedom of the Roman Empire.
This grain supply was important for Rome’s survival, especially due
to a policy of distributing subsidized or free grain to many of Rome’s
citizens, under the slogan Panem ET Circenses (bread and circuses).
Regular shipments from Egypt were critical to the Roman Emperors’
hold on power, and this policy of free grain remained until the end of
the Roman Empire.

Draw a picture of a Roman grain ship.

Roman merchant ships
The large number of shipwrecks found in the Mediterranean show not only the
amount of shipping that took place during the Roman Empire, but the danger
of traveling by sea. These merchant ships carried grain such as barley and
wheat, and raw materials such as silk, spices, and olive oil. Using the Internet
or an encyclopedia, research the type of cargo carried by Roman merchant
ships at the time of Paul the Apostle. Write your answers in the boxes below.

Yom Kippur
Yom Kippur is also known as the Day of Atonement, and is part of God’s prophetic Appointed
Times (Feasts). It is the fifth of the seven set-apart annual Sabbaths and occurs ten days after
the Day of Trumpets. On this day, God’s people rest and gather together with like-minded
believers. It is a time to repent and turn back to God and follow His instructions.
“…The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and
deny yourselves, and present a food offering to the Lord. Do not do any work on that day…
This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come…” (Leviticus 23:27-31)
God was so serious about this Appointed Time that He asked His people to afflict themselves
for one day. Some people honor this Day by not eating (fasting). The Bible indicates that Paul
kept the Appointed Times, including the Sabbath, Yom Kippur, and Feast of Unleavened Bread.

Roman Citizenship
For the first few centuries A.D., Roman citizenship was a highly coveted prize. It was a
privileged political and legal status given to freeborn individuals (not slaves). Although Paul
was a Hebrew, he was born in the city of Tarsus, which was part of the vast Roman Empire. His
birth in Tarsus granted him Roman citizenship.
Roman citizens were granted a variety of rights that the rest of the population of the Roman
Empire was denied. It came with the right to a fair legal trial and the right to request Caesar to
hear a case. Citizens who were condemned to death were spared from some of the
methods of execution. For example, they were generally safe from crucifixion.
In Jerusalem, many people hated Paul, especially the religious leaders.
Paul knew if he stood trial in Jerusalem, he would be found guilty even
though he was innocent.

Design a meal for Paul
In first century Rome, there were no passenger ships. People had to find
a ship, obtain the captain’s approval, and negotiate a price. Passengers brought
their own food, blankets, mattresses, and even tents so they could sleep
on deck! There were no restaurants, but they were allowed to use the ship’s
facilities to cook meals. Ship stewards kept kegs of salted beef and dried
legumes to feed their own sailors. Since Roman ships often stopped
at port, food wasn’t preserved to last a long time.
Design a meal for Paul and the sailors. Use your imagination!

Navigation in ancient Rome
During the 1st century AD, Roman merchant ships frequently sailed across the Mediterranean
Sea. They sailed directly from one place to another, or from port to port along the coast,
picking up new cargo and passengers as they went. Most ships were powered by rowing
or by sailing. Sailing ships were rigged with a square sail (usually a single large sail), or two
square sails on two masts. Square sails allowed vessels to sail continuously at a steady speed.
Sailing these merchant ships was not easy. Without a compass or modern GPS, mariners had
to have an advanced knowledge of navigation. They relied on environmental observation
(the sun and stars), and a good understanding of wind patterns and direction in a variety of
weather conditions. A common piece of equipment was a lead sounding weight, used by the
men in Acts 27:28. “They took a sounding and found twenty fathoms. A little farther on they
took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms.” Using this weight, seamen could estimate
water depth and take samples of the seabed. This information was used to help maintain a
course or to know when land was nearby, even if it was out of sight.

Read Acts 27:27-32. Why do you think the seamen used a sounding weight?

A Hebrew day
Paul was a Hebrew from the tribe of Benjamin.
Did you know a Hebrew day starts and ended at nightfall? When God created the earth,
He first created night and then day: “God called the light day, and the darkness He called
night, and it was evening and it was morning, one day.” (Genesis 1:5) A day in the
Gregorian calendar (the calendar we use today) begins and ends at midnight.
A Hebrew day goes from nightfall to nightfall.

Interesting Discovery!
This article discusses the discovery of four Roman anchors alongside Munxar reef.
Read the text and answer the questions on the next page.
Shipwreck on Malta
According to some archaeologists, all four anchors from Paul’s shipwreck were recently discovered
outside St. Thomas Bay, on the southeast shore of Malta. They were found within forty yards of
each other, and at exactly the correct 90-foot depth as recorded by the sailors’ measurements.
Local divers and archeologists found these Roman-style anchors alongside Munxar reef, an
offshore reef jutting out from St. Thomas Bay.
One of the anchors was dated to the first-century era of Roman shipping when Paul’s shipwreck
occurred. The noise the sailors heard on the fourteenth night was the sound of waves breaking
over Munxar reef. This coastline would have been entirely unfamiliar to the professional sailors on
Paul’s ship. Because of the bad weather, the ship had been blown off-course, away from normal
ancient shipping lanes.
St. Thomas Bay, rather than St. Paul’s Bay as some have claimed, is where the shipwreck is thought
to have occurred. Paul’s ship would have drifted in from the east/southeast, the direction a
Euroclydon (typhoon) would have blown. Approaching from this angle, the ship’s path to the
beach would have been blocked by a long shallow reef, identified as Munxar reef. This rocky reef
juts out from St. Thomas Bay, and waves smash over these rocks even in calm weather. Maritime
charts of this area show a sloping approach to the bay that
matches the sailors’ measurements as recorded in the book of
Acts. And unlike St. Paul’s Bay, St. Thomas Bay has a sandy beach,
the perfect landing place for all the men aboard Paul’s ship to
swim or float toward.
