526 CE

An earthquake, probably occurring between May 20 and May 29, 526, kills approximately two hundred and fifty thousand people in Syria and in Antioch in particular.

Antioch and its port, Seleucia Pieria, are severely damaged by the great earthquake of 526.

Seleucia Pieria, which is already fighting a losing battle against continual silting, will never recover.
