		Jim Davila and David Meadows have quoted and linked to a press report announcing the discovery of some correspondence involving Procopius of Gaza (465-529).

		He declares that, if there be men on the other side of the earth, Christ must have gone there and suffered a second time to save them; and, therefore, that there must have been there, as necessary preliminaries to his coming, a duplicate Eden, Adam, serpent, and deluge.

		This small concentration provides further testimony for the city's resurgence at that time and for an as yet unexplained increase in coins in use, particularly during the reign of Maurice.
		These Byzantine coins from the sea also provide the first incontrovertible evidence for the continued use of the Herodian maritime installations into the Byzantine era and help to confirm and locate the Anastasian harbor restoration project mentioned by Procopius of Gaza.
		Contrary to previous scholarly speculation, it now appears that the main harbor of Herodian and Roman Caesarea had not fallen completely from use by the Byzantine era.
