Antioch is a city in the south of Turkey, close to the Orontes River.
History
Byzantine Empire
In 870 CE, Oisel, a young member of the Frankish Brotherhood of Hidden Ones based in Chinon's local bureau, received a letter from Basim Ibn Ishaq, the Mentor of the local branch of Hidden Ones in Constantinople, which asked him to follow Basim's travels in the Levant, starting in Antioch.[1]
Modern day
In 2012, Abstergo Industries used a virtual representation of the location in the second stage of the Animi Training Program.[2]
The simulation depicted a thriving city that had a large building, presumably a mosque, at its center, as well as an accompanying minaret. Traffic circled this mosque continuously, necessitating wide roads and open spaces, making hiding difficult. Though most residences were structurally sound, a part of town had fallen into disrepair. In the distance, one could glimpse the city's massive fortification walls.[2]
Antioch, like most of the simulated locations in the first and second stage, had two aesthetic variations. As such, it could be utilized during dusk or the day.[2]
