Read Acts 25.1-12
In verse 1: Ceasarea was the Roman city Herod the Great built on the Mediterranean and Jerusalem was high in the Judean hills.
In verse 5: Those who have the authority are the "leading men," probably linked closely with the Temple.
In verse 10: Paul's innocence of the charges has been his defense to which the tribune (23.29) and the narrator agree (25.7), but Festus opinion (as you well know) is so far (25.18-20, 26-27; 26.31-32) only indicates through Paul (contrast Pilate in Lk 23.13, 20, 22).
In verse 11-12: Only Roman citizens could appeal to the emperor (16.37-38; 22.25-29).
