==Overview==
Paneas was first settled in the Ptolemaic period and named in honor of the god Pan. The Seleucids built a temple there.
The region was annexed to the kingdom of [[Herod the Great]]. After his death, [[Herod Philip]] founded a city at Paneas in 3 BCE as the administrative capital of the Tetrarchy of Batanaea. The city was named ''Caesarea'' in 14 CE in honor of the deceased emperor [[Augustus]].
When [[Herod Philip]] died, the city was incorporated in the Province of Syria. Later, between 61 and 68 CE, when [[Herod Agrippa II]] ruled on the region, the city was briefly renamed [[Neronia]] in honor of Emperor [[Nero]]. 
During the [[Jewish War]], the city served as a Roman stronghold for the invading troops.
The city continued to flourish in the Christian and Muslim periods, but lost importance in modern times.
