Building Stone from Herodian Antipatris
A building stone from central Antipatris, a Roman-era city built by Herod the Great on the site of ancient Aphek. Note the careful and precise dressing of the stone, including the even raised boss (central surface-area) surrounded by a fairly wide border. These are distinctive characteristics of stones used in Herodian and later Roman construction in Israel.
