Antiochia ad Taurum (Ancient Greek: Αντιόχεια του Ταύρου; "Antiochia in the Taurus") was an ancient Hellenistic city in the Taurus Mountains of Cilicia (later Commagene province), Anatolia.[1] Most modern scholars locate Antiochia ad Taurum at or near Gaziantep, Gaziantep Province, Turkey (formerly called Aïntab),[2][3][4] although past scholars tried to associate it with Aleppo (formerly Halab), Syria.[5]
Coins were minted at Antiochia ad Taurum.[6]
Antiochia ad Taurum was Christianized early and formed a bishopric see in Commagene.[7]
