Historical background

Seleucus I founded Antioch on the Orontes around 300 BC as the capital of his empire; it lies near today's Antakya in Turkey. Under the Romans it became the seat of the governor of Syria and, after Rome and Alexandria, one of the largest cities of the empire. According to the Acts of the Apostles, the followers of Jesus were first called "Christians" here.
