ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The palace of Antioch was on the island of the Orontes River in the centre of the city. Its foundation goes back to the Hellenistic period, but it was built anew in the late 3rd century. Today nothing survives and any information we have derives from the description of Libanius, from a mosaic representation and from later descriptions and reconstructions. Its actual appearance has not been figured out with certainty, since the extant information only allows us to form a partial image. It probably communicated with the Golden Octagon and the hippodrome. |
