A section of the aqueduct of Caesarea in Israel recently collapsed. Originally built by Herod the Great, it was the later expansion by Emperor Hadrian that collapsed.

Caesarea ruins seem to have a weather-beaten look as if the salty/sandy onshore winds have done their worst. Most of the remains are sawed off quite low, as if the area was dug out somewhat recently and the originally exposed part was ground completely off by the elements.

On the other hand Israel's Beit Shean ruins way to the east looks spectacular, and further east just over Jordan's border is another dazzling Roman ruins of Jerash. And there is even an east-west road connection, one of the few over the border and appears to include winding hill scenery thru Jordan. I'm sure the logistics would be hard, but I was told to make plans when there is bad news because the way things cycle it will be the opposite by the time you arrive.
