Herod the Great, after annexing the Golan …
Years: 3BCE - 3BCE
Herod the Great, after annexing the Golan in 20 BCE, had erected here a temple of "white marble" in honor of his patron, Augustus.
Philip the Tetrarch of Batanaea, which encompasses the Golan and the Hauran, in the year 3 BCE, founds a city at Paneas, which becomes the administrative capital of Philip's large tetrarchy
Flavius Josephus, in The Antiquities of the Jews, refers to the city as Caesarea Paneas; the New Testament as Caesarea Philippi (to distinguish it from Caesarea Maritima on the Mediterranean coast).
