Product Information

Excerpt from Revue Archeologique, Vol. 7: Janvier-Juin 1906 Then as w, the fertile district east of the Orontes and the small plains and valleys, which are still under cultivation in the heart of the hills, must have depended upon Antioch for their market. Her era is used in the inscriptions, whereas in the Jebel Riha, which fell more directly under the in uence of Apamea, the buildings are dated by the era of the Seleucids and the characteristic splendour of the churches in the Antioch dis trict is to some extent absent even Ruweiha cant compare with Kalb Lozeh in beauty of detail'. Nevertheless the general features of the great Syrian style are the same throughout and can be traced by the aid of an unrivalled series of monuments, from Baalbek and Palmyra and the pre-christian tombs and temples in the country between Hama, Aleppo and Antioch, through the marvellous outburst of building energy in the 5th and 6th centuries which closes only with the Arab invasion. Everywhere it shows the same creative freedom in the use of Greek forms, the same admixture of architectural devices and decorative schemes borrowed from the East. During the whole period of its rise and development, Antioch was sometimes in name and always in popular reputation the capital of Syria, and it is t unreasonable to suppose that the indelible mark which the fertile Syrian mind was to leave on the Christian arts of Europe is in great measure an outcome of the greco-oriental civilisation that ourished in the Seleucid city.
