Antiochia ad Taurum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antiochia ad Taurum (Ancient Greek: Ἀντιόχεια τοῦ Ταύρου; "Antiochia in the Taurus") was an ancient Hellenistic city 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][4] although past scholars tried to associate it with Aleppo (Arabic name Halab), Syria.[5]

Coins were minted at Antiochia ad Taurum.[6]

Antiochia ad Taurum was Christianized early and formed a bishopric see in Commagene.[7]
