História
Antigoneia was an ancient city founded in 307 BC by Antigonus I Monophthalmus, one of the successors of Alexander the Great, in the northern Levant. Established as a joint capital of Antigonus's empire alongside Celaenae in Anatolia, Antigoneia occupied a strategically important position on the Orontes River and on trade routes. A large settlement with a perimeter of seventy stades—7.5 miles (12 km)—and a population well over 20,000, Antigoneia was the site of several important events of Antigonus's reign.
