THE TETRAPOLIS OF ELLINIST AND ROMAN SYRIA
Abstract
The article is devoted to the emergence and formation of the Syrian tetrapolis, their role and significance in the Seleucid and Roman periods. The cities were named after the members of the royal family, which greatly increased their status. With the foundation of tetrapolis, Seleucus I carried out his plans to enter the Mediterranean, which largely ensured the economic growth of the Seleucid state. Those were the cities, which allowed the Seleucids to control the vast possessions of the state and strengthen the royal power. In the Roman period the tetrapolis underwent partial reconstruction, as a result, the architecture of the cities began to acquire Roman features. Economically, the cities have grown considerably stronger due to active trade and reasonable policy of Roman authorities.
