1800 years ago, the Great Colonnade of Apamea in Syria wasn’t just a road; it was a towering testament to the ambition and grandeur of its time. Spanning nearly 2 kilometers, it wasn’t just one of the longest colonnades in ancient history; it was a bold statement of power, prestige, and architectural brilliance during the Seleucid Empire. After a relentless earthquake tried to destroy it in 115 AD, they didn't back down—they reconstructed it, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. These mammoth columns, standing a staggering 9 meters tall and nearly a meter thick, loomed over all who dared traverse its path, flaunting both plain and intricately spiral-fluted designs. Can you even fathom the spectacle it was? An avenue that screamed of Apamea’s significance and made sure the world knew its name.
