This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the ancient city of Antioch in Syria. The artist behind this remarkable piece is W Miller, who skillfully portrays the historical significance and breathtaking landscape of this renowned location. Antioch, founded in 301 BC, served as the capital of the Seleucid dynasty in Syria before becoming a province of the Roman Empire.

The image showcases Antioch's enchanting surroundings with its prominent mountain range and vast desert stretching into the horizon. This monochrome engraving beautifully captures both the geographical features and religious importance associated with this ancient city.
