Seleukos’ Cities: Sites and Situations
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Seleukos’ Syrian cities were carefully placed geographically so as to ensure the king’s control over his conquest. But the king’s wishes in this respect could not override geographical factors, and the future history of the land was also out of his control. In the two centuries after his death the pattern he imposed slowly changed. Cities declined and new cities grew, so that when Syria became a Roman province, the urban pattern had distorted from its pristine regularity into a far more natural one.
