Historical background
SYRIA - DAMASCUS
(1st century BC - 1st Century AD)
Damascus (Damascus) only appeared during the reign of Alexander III the Great (336-323 AC.) from a monetary point of view. The city was disputed between Lagides and Seleucids and finally remained with the latter and was perhaps conquered by the Nabataeans. It experienced a great period of prosperity during the imperial era..
