Historyedit
Dàphne (Δάφνη in Greek) was a resort port-town during Seleucid Empire, famous for waterfalls, daphne laurels, and residence buildings. However, it was also famous for earthquakes; many ancients buildings were demolished during big earthquakes.[5] Under the Roman Empire, aqueducts were built to connect the local springs to the city of Antioch and there were several villas in Daphne.[6][7]
Following the First Jewish–Roman War, Vespasian, the Roman emperor, constructed a theater on the former synagogue site in Daphne, further aggravating the situation with an inscription boasting that it was funded with Jewish spoils.[8]
For many centuries, many monastic communities from different ethnicities settled in the region around Antioch[9] as for instance in Daphne. The Kastana monastery, dedicated to the Theotokos, was close to the Kastalia springs in Daphne.[10]Ephrem Mtsire, a famous 11th century Georgian monk, theologian and translator of patristic literature, was hegumen of this monastery.
Economyedit
Harbiye's main economic activity is domestic tourism: hotels, restaurants, souvenir shops etc. The town is proud of the Daphne mythology.[11] There is also a minor silk industry. Many Harbiye residents commute to work in Antakya.[citation needed]
