		The port city of Ptolemais was located on a promontory at the northern end of the bay across from Mount Carmel.
		Under the Romans the natural harbor in the southern part of the city was improved and a breakwater was constructed, transforming it the main port on the eastern Mediterranean coast.
		Ptolemais plays only a small role in the Biblical narrative: Christianity quickly won adherents among the city's foreign population.

		My three days stay in Ptolemais, with Joris and Nicole as really outstanding hosts, activated these parts again and reminded me of the hardship and the perseverance that are needed to 'do the job'.
		So that evening in Ptolemais was a big party, of people meeting in the field, of Hans being a new grandfather and of Henk and me looking forward to go to the mines.
		This was all with good food (though yes, the knives and forks were a bit small), good and bad (yes the house-wine is not so good) wine and stories about all kinds of things.

		The second year of Claudius (line 9) was, to speak exactly, from Jan. 25 A.D. 42 to Jan. 25, A.D. It is noted by Dio Cassius (lx, 11) that in A.D. there was a severe scarcity at Rome, and that this even suggested to Claudius the idea of building the harbour at Ostia.
