After the death and spectacular funeral ceremony of Herod the Great, the famous 1st century BC King of Judea, three ships sailed from the Holy Land to Rome. On each of the ships was one of Herod’s sons – all traveling to Rome in order to attempt to inherit their father’s entire kingdom. Augustus, their father's patron, followed the Roman doctrine, "divide and conquer," and, indeed, the Holy Land was divided into three parts. Achelous received the Judean region, Philip received the Golan (the areas east and north of the Sea of Galilee), and the Galilee was given to Herod Antipas – the same Antipas who, according to the New Testament, played a role in the execution of John the Baptist.
Tiberias, one of the four holy cities in Israel, is set along the Sea of Galilee and boasts history, legend, and lovely nature -including famous hot springs.
