The ancient city of Zeugma, was founded in 300 B.C. by 
Seleukos Nikator, one of the generals of the Alexander the Great. At that time 
the city was named after the general and called ” Seleukia on the Euphrates.” 
The population of the city was approximately 80 000. In 64 B.C. Zeugma was 
conquered and ruled by Rome and with this shift the name of the city was changed 
to Zeugma, in Greek meaning “bridge-passage.” During Roman rule, the city became 
a regional centre, as the city of Zeugma was on the silkroad connecting Antioch 
to China with its own quay on the river Euphrates. In 256 A.D. Zeugma was 
destroyed by the Sasanian King, Sapur I and his invasion was so devastating so 
that Zeugma was not able to recover for many years. In the summer of 2000, this 
city, one of the great frontier cities of the Roman Empire, all but disappeared 
under the flood waters of a dam. The Turkish government over the past twenty 
years had built a series of dams on the Euphrates river.
