This is an illustrated history of one of the greatest cities in antiquity: Antioch on the Orontes or, simply, Antioch. From the time of Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC through the time of the first Christians to the incursions of many conquering armies (Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Persians, Byzantines, Crusaders, Ottomans, and Turks) into the 21st century, the city has seen thousands and thousands of residents and visitors spend much time in this city at the eastern end of the Mediterranean. But it has also suffered tremendous damage in the loss of life and property from earthquakes and other natural phenomena. Today the modern Antioch, called Antakya, is a provincial capital next to a volatile country (Syria) that continues to attract hard-working people who want to live in harmony with their neighbors, no matter what their religion or political beliefs are.
