During Greek times it was governed by a succession of independent kings, most notably the Seleucid successor state, whose capital of Antioch ad Orontem was one of the most magnificent cities of ancient times.
It was annexed to the Roman Republic in 64 BC by Pompey the Great in the Third Mithridatic War, following the defeat of Armenian King Tigranes the Great.
