From late fourth century BC Seleucid enclave to capital of the
Roman east, Antioch on the Orontes was one of the greatest cities
of antiquity and served as a hinge between east and west. This book
draws on a century of archaeological fieldwork to offer a new
narrative of Antioch's origins and growth, as well as its
resilience, civic pride, and economic opportunism. Situating the
urban nucleus in the context of the rural landscape, this book
integrates hitherto divorced cultural basins, including the Amuq
Valley and the Massif Calcaire. It also brings into focus the
archaeological data, thus proposing a concrete interpretative
framework that, grounded in the monuments of Antioch, enables the
reader to move beyond text-based reconstructions of the city's
history. Finally, it considers the interaction between the
environment and the people of the city who shaped this region and
forged a distinct identity within the broader Greco-Roman world.
