Years: 20 - 20
Herod Antipas establishes Tiberias, a port on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee in northeastern Israel in 20, naming it for the Roman emperor (Teverya in Hebrew).
He partly models Tiberias on the plan of a Greek polis; although he erects statues in the Greek manner in his palace, his coins bear no images.
He also encourages the Herodians, well-to-do Jews who support him and are tolerant of Roman authority.
The Gentiles who live in Tiberias and other Jewish cities are probably natives of nearby Gentile cities, and many are Syrians, who can probably speak both Aramaic and Greek.
