INTRODUCCIÓN / INTRODUCTION:

Halabiya es un sitio arqueológico a orillas del Eufrates, en el área de Deir ez-Zor, Siria. Halabiya se fundó en el s.III d.c. por Zenobia, la reina de Palmira, el cuál tomó su nombre posteriormente. Después de su revuelta con el imperio romano en el 273, Halabiya fue capturada por los romanos y refortificada como parte de los Límites arábicos. El sitio ocupa un área de 12 hertáreas, (30 acres), protegida por unos macizos muros y la ciudadela en la cima de la montaña. En las excavaciones se han encontrado restos de dos iglesias, un baño público y dos calles. Estos datas del reino Bizantino del Emperador Justiniano I, quien reforzó la ciudad en el s. VI d.c.

Halabiye is an archaeological site on the right bank of the Euphrates in Deir ez-Zor Governorate, Syria. Halabiye was fortified in the 3rd century CE by Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra, after whom the site was named in antiquity. After her revolt against the Roman Empire in 273, Halabiye was captured by the Romans and subsequently refortified as part of the Limes Arabicus. The site occupies an area of 12 hectares (30 acres), protected by massive city walls and a citadel on top of a hill. Remains of two churches, a public bath complex and two streets have been excavated. These all date to the reign of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I, who refortified the city in the 6th century CE.
