CHAPTER XXXIII

OF THE JEWS INHABITING DIO CÆSAREA IN PALESTINE

But Gallus who was also called Constantius, whom the emperor, after creating Cæsar, had sent into the East, despatched an army against them, whereby they were completely vanquished: after which their city Dio Caesarea was by his order totally destroyed.
