Hadrian, 11 August 117 - 10 July 138 A.D., Tiberias, Galilee, Judaea
Tiberias, on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, was founded by Herod Antipas in 20 A.D., named in honor of the Roman emperor Tiberius. Tiberias was the capital of Galilee and for Herod Antipas. Tiberias is mentioned in John 6:23, after Jesus' miraculous feeding of 5000, a crowd seeking Jesus took boats from Tiberius across the lake. Tiberias did not participate in the Bar Kokhba revolt. Following the expulsion of Jews from Jerusalem and most of Judaea after 135, Tiberias and its neighbor Sepphoris became the major Jewish cultural centers.
