<p>[QUOTE="nicholasz219, post: 3271882, member: 75641"]As I have been collecting coins of Septimius Severus, I have wandered into the provinces as I have noted in my posts about <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/nikopolis-ad-istrum.314558/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/nikopolis-ad-istrum.314558/">Nikopolis ad Istrum</a> and <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/markianopolis-moesia-inferior.328481/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/markianopolis-moesia-inferior.328481/">Markianopolis</a> in Moesia Inferior.

Hittites, Assyrians, Egyptians and Persians all tried to wrest control of the area with limited success. Mycenaeans and Ionians settled there as well. Alexander the Great defeated the Achaemenid Empire and then after his death the area fell to Seleucos I Nicator. Seleucos founded Antioch with settlers from Magnesia ad Meander and named Antioch after his father Antiochus as he did with apparently 15 other cities of the same name.
