Question
A sixth-century author from this city synthesized its history with Biblical narrative in an unreliable 18-book Chronographia written in unusually simple language. Pseudo-Martyrius recounts how a man originally from this city refused to spend Church money on feasts and entertainment, leading him to be exiled twice after quarrels with Empress Eudoxia. After an abortive attempt at living on Mount Silpios by this city, (*) John Chrysostom began his preaching in it. Irritation at the decadence of this city's Christians prompted Julian the Apostate to write his Misopogon. This city’s Patriarch, along with those of Alexandria, Constantinople, Rome, and Jerusalem, formed the Pentarchy. For 10 points, name this city which also served as the capital of the Seleucid Empire and Roman Syria. ■END■
