Historia
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.
