Caesar-city
| Root | Καισάρεια (Kaisareia) |
| Core Meanings | Caesar-city, imperial city, city named for Caesar |
| Semantic Range | The name of two cities in Palestine (Caesarea Maritima and Caesarea Philippi); an административ center honoring the Roman emperor; by extension, a seat of Roman authority. |
| Conceptual Significance | As "Caesar-city," the term highlights Roman imperial presence in the land of Israel. In Acts especially, it represents the administrative power of Rome, the setting of key trials, and a strategic hub for the spread of the good news among Gentiles. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS,); proper place name formed from Καῖσαρ with the -εια suffix indicating a city or region associated with a person. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from Καῖσαρ (Caesar) with the place-forming suffix -εια, meaning "city belonging to or honoring Caesar." Rendering it as "Caesar-city" preserves the root connection to Caesar rather than using the traditionalized form. The form Καισάρειαν is accusative feminine singular, the direct-object form of this feminine place name. |
