Tiberias is a city on the western
shore of the Sea of Galilee, Lower Galilee, Israel
Tiberias has been venerated
in Judaism since the middle of the 2nd-century and since the 16th century,
has been considered one of Judaism's Four Holy Cities, along with Jerusalem,
Hebron and Safed. In the 2nd-10th centuries, Tiberias was the largest Jewish
city in the Galilee, and the political and religious hub of the Jews of
Palestine. According to Christian tradition, Jesus performed several miracles
in the Tiberias district, making it an important pilgrimage site for devout
Christians. Tiberias has historically been known for its hot springs, believed
to cure skin and other ailments, for thousands of years.
A 2,000 year-old Roman theatre
was discovered 15 meters below ground near Mount Bernike in the Tiberias
hills. It seated over 7,000 people. Excavations on the shore unearthed
a rare coin with the image of Jesus on one side and the Greek words "Jesus
the Messiah King of Kings" on the other. It belongs to a series of coins
issued in Constantinople to commemorate the First Millennium of Jesus'
birth. Such coins have surfaced in neighboring countries, such as Turkey,
but this is the first one found in Israel. It is believed to have been
brought to Tiberias by Christian pilgrims.
