EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th-century photograph captures the enchanting ruins of Antioch on the Orontes, or Antakya as it is known today, nestled in the verdant valley of the Orontes River in modern-day Turkey. Antioch was an ancient Greek city of great historical significance, founded in the 3rd century BC and renowned for its cultural and intellectual achievements. The city's strategic location on the eastern side of the Orontes River made it a coveted prize for various empires throughout history, including the Romans, Byzantines, and Seljuks. The photograph showcases the impressive defensive fortifications that once protected the city from invading forces. The massive stone walls, some sections still standing tall, wind their way up the hillside, offering a glimpse into the city's rich past. The Orontes River, a lifeline for the ancient city, meanders through the valley, its crystal-clear waters reflecting the blue sky and the remnants of the ancient bridge that once connected the two banks. The photograph also reveals the remains of a bridge, a testament to the ingenuity of ancient engineering. The bridge, with its arches and intricate stonework, spans the Orontes River, connecting the city to its agricultural lands and neighboring settlements. The hilltop in the background, dotted with trees and shrubs, adds to the serene beauty of the scene. This photograph, from the Reuben Luke Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the hustle and bustle of ancient life that once thrived within the walls of Antioch on the Orontes.
