Historical background
In 64/63 BC Pompey ended the Seleucid kingdom and set up the province of Syria. Its capital Antioch on the Orontes was among the largest cities of the empire. As a bulwark against the Parthians it held one of the strongest legionary garrisons of the East; coastal cities such as Tyre and Byblos thrived on trade and purple dyeing.
