The Roman Theatre dates to the 1st century with the founding of Tiberias by Herod Antipas - around 18 CE. The theatre would remain in use until the 749 CE earthquake.

Visiting my friend Achiya Cohen the chief archaeologist at Korazim. Achiya and myself were 1st year archaeology students at the Hebrew University. We sat in class together each day and he really helped me with Hebrew as I helped him with English articles. He was and is a true friend.
In the image I am holding my walking stick and he is holding his metal detector.
Archaeologists recently discovered a trove of Canaanite artifacts (ca 1800 BCE) and a huge "monument" at Tel Shimron in the north of Israel, near Nahalal. They also discovered a mud-brick archway from this period.
This Haaretz article shares it best.
