ABSTRACT
Resaina, a Roman veteran colony set up probably under Septimius Severus, and since the peace of Jovian not far from the frontier, was evidently upgraded by Theodosius I early in his reign. Theodosius also constructed walls for smaller places in Syria, such as Gindarus, 40 km northeast of Antioch, and Lytargon, also known as Litarba, nearly 50 km east of Antioch (Mal. 13.39 [345-6]).61
