Caesarea was probably built on the ruins of an earlier coastal city founded by Straton the First of Sidon. The Hasmoneans later captured the city as the Hasmonean kingdom expanded. In approsimately 22 BCE, Herod the Great Builder began to construct a modern Roman City complete with coliseum, deep sea harbor, markets, baths and temples which he named Caesarea in honor of Caesar Augustus.

Yes, because Judea did not have a viable seaport to the Mediterranean Sea. That was corrected by the efforts of Herod.

Why did Herod the Great build the Second Temple?

A:Herod did not build the Second Temple, which was built centuries earlier during the Persian period. He did rebuild and expand the existing Temple. Herod embarked on a program of building, including fortresses and palaces, as well as the city of Caesaria, but his most famous endeavour is his reconstruction ofthe Second Temple. Part of the reason is that, being an Idumaean, he wanted to win favour with his Jewish subjects.
