Antiochia ad Taurum (lit. "Antiochia at Taurus") (Ancient Greek:Ἀντιόχεια τοῦ Ταύρου; lit.

Historical geography

[edit]

Antiochia ad Taurum was located to the east of MountAmanus, and in the Second Temple period, Jewish authors seeking to establish with greater precision the geographical borders of the Promised Land, began to construeMount Hor as a reference to theAmanus range of the Taurus Mountains, which marked the northern limit of the Syrian plain.[3][4]

Most modern scholars locate Antiochia ad Taurum at or nearGaziantep (formerly calledAïntab) in the westernmost part of present-dayTurkey'sSoutheastern Anatolia Region,[5][6][7] although past scholars tried to associate it withAleppo (Arabic nameHalab),Syria.[8] It has also been identified withPerrhe nearAdıyaman.[citation needed]

Locating Antiochia ad Taurum at or near (Gaziantep,Turkey),[9] the city lies in the Islahiye valley which connects the lowerOrontes valley to the southern piedmont of the centralTaurus mountain range. During the Bronze Age, the region belonged to the Inner Syrian cultural context, and held a highly strategic significance, over the course of time, for the connections between Upper Mesopotamian and Levantine lowlands on the one hand and the Anatolian highlands on the other.[10]

Numismatics

[edit]

Coins were minted at Antiochia ad Taurum.[11]

History of Christianity
