Antiochia ad Taurum
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Antiochia ad Taurum (Αντιόχεια του Ταύρου; "Antiochia in the Taurus") was an ancient city of Hellenistic foundation in the Taurus Mountains of Cilicia (later Commagene province), Anatolia.[1] Most modern scholars locate Antiochia ad Taurum at or near Gaziantep, Gaziantep Province, Turkey (formerly called Aïntab),[2][3] although past scholars tried to associate it with Aleppo (formerly Halab), Syria.[4]
Coins were minted at Antiochia ad Taurum.[5]
Antiochia ad Taurum was Christianized early and formed a see in Commagene.[6]
