Seleucia Pieria

Seleucia Pieria

Seleucia Pieria was a town in antiquity, the capital of Seleucus I Nicator, in Syria Prima.

The Macedonians called the landscape Pieria, after a district in their homeland that was also between the sea and a mountain range. It functioned as the commercial and naval seaport of the western Seleucid capital of Antioch ad Orontes, present-day Antakya. According to Pausanias and Malalas, there appears to have been a previous city here named Palaeopolis. At present, it is located at the seaside village of Çevlik near the town of Samandağ in the Hatay Province of Turkey. Seleucia, Apamea, Laodicea, and Antioch formed the Syrian tetrapolis.
