"Antioch, the magnificent city known for its Hellenic culture and luxurious way of life, once ranked with Rome, Alexandria, and Constantinople as one of the great metropolises of the Roman and Early Christian world. Located in what is now southern Turkey, Antioch was the capital of Ancient Syria, a vital marketplace at the crossroads between East and West. It was here that Saint Paul preached to the first gentile community to be called "Christians" and where a Greek-speaking Jewish culture flourished alongside Roman, Egyptian, and Near Eastern traditions. A large middle-class shared in the wealth and culture of the city, and art abounded in numerous forms, especially in beautiful mosaics depicting scenes from mythology and everyday life."—Publisher.
