Line 50: The country about Apamea has been shaken by earthquakes, one of which is recorded as having happened in the time of [[Claudius]] ([[Tacitus\|Tacit.]] ''Ann. '' xii. 58); and on this occasion the payment of taxes to the Romans was remitted for five years. [[Nicolaus of Damascus]] (''Athen. '' p. 332) records a violent earthquake at Apamea at a previous date, during the [[Mithridatic Wars]]: lakes appeared where none were before, and rivers and springs; and many which existed before disappeared. Strabo (p. 579) speaks of this great catastrophe, and of other convulsions at an earlier period. [[File:Kibotos 1096.jpg\|thumb\|right\|[[Battle of Kibitos]], [[13th century~~\|13C]]~~ manuscript]]Apamea continued to be a prosperous town under the [[Roman Empire]]. Its decline dates from the local disorganization of the empire in the 3rd century; and though a [[Diocese\|bishopric]], it was not an important military or commercial center in [[Byzantine Empire\|Byzantine]] times. The [[Turkic peoples\|Turks]] took it first in 1080, and from the late 13th century onwards it was always in [[Muslim]] hands. For a long period it was one of the greatest cities of [[Asia Minor]], commanding the Maeander road; but when the trade routes were diverted to [[Constantinople]] it rapidly declined, and its ruin was completed by an earthquake.<ref name="EB1911"/> ===Apamea in Jewish tradition===
