'''Antioch''' was an ancient city in [[Syria]] in [[Asia Minor]] on the Orontes River. It was founded in 300 B.C. by [[Seleucus Nicator]] and became the capital of the [[Seleucid Empire]] and, in 64 B.C., the Asian capital of the [[Roman Empire]].
Antioch was an important center of ancient [[Christianity]], being one of the first cities to really catch fire for [[Jesus]] and possibly the most important city in early Christendom after the early Church was forced to scatter.
