Antioch
Syria
Antioch (Antakya), today in the Hatay province of southern Turkey near the Syrian border, was a major late-antique city that came under Muslim rule after the conquest of Syria, was retaken by the Byzantines in 969, and changed hands repeatedly during the Crusades. The poet al-Ma'arri (d. 1057) came from nearby Ma'arrat al-Nu'man; the astronomer al-Battani (d. 929) was active in the wider Syrian region.
