==History==
Located north of Gaza, Anthedon was founded in Hellenist times. It was then conquered at the beginning of the first century BCE by [[Alexander Jannaeus]] and included in the Hasmonean Kingdom, from which it was separated by the Roman conquest by [[Pompey]] in 63 BCE. [[Gabinius]] rebuilt the city. [[Augustus]] gave it to [[Herod the Great]], who restored it and renamed it ''Agrippias'' in honor of M. Agrippa. In the partition of Herod's kingdom Anthedon followed probably the some lot as [[Joppa]] and [[Caesarea Maritima]], being assigned to [[Archelaus]].
During the [[Jewish War]], Anthedon was attacked and partly destroyed by the rebels.
