Apamea
Syria
Apamea on the Orontes, in northwestern Syria near modern Qalaat al-Madiq, was a major Hellenistic city founded by the Seleucids. It was a significant philosophical center: the Stoic Posidonius and the Neopythagorean/Middle Platonist Numenius were both natives, and the Neoplatonist Iamblichus founded his influential school there in the early fourth century AD.
