Antipatris
Antipatris was a city built during the first century BC by Herod the Great, who named it in honor of his father, Antipater. Antipatris lies at the strong perennial springs of the Yarkon River, which throughout history has created an obstacle between the hill country to the east and the Mediterranean to the west, forcing travelers and armies to pass through the narrow pass between the springs and the foothills of Samaria.
