Major mints: Damascus, Heliopolis, Laodicea ad Libanum.

Located in southern Syria, east of Phoenicia, Coele-, or hollow-Syria, lay nominally between the mountains of Lebanon and anti-Lebanon. The term was often used to cover the surrounding area as well; hence Damascus, the location of the conversion of St. Paul, lay outside this valley, but within the district. Damascus in particular has a long history; the kings of Aramaea, old foes of Israel, had their capital here. The city of Damascus issued coinage beginning with tetradrachms of Alexander, with the forepart of a ram as the symbol. Later coins emphasized the Tyche (i. e., Fortune) of Damascus

Laodicea ad Libanum minted coins with the god Mn as the type. Men, a shadowy moon-god, had a few temples around Asia Minor, of which the most important seems to have been that of Men of Pharnaces, in Pontos.
