THE PHOENICIAN CITY OF ATRI (TRIPOLI) IN LEBANON

Abstract

The history of Tripoli (Lebanon) has been the subject of a few general works, spanning from Antiquity to
the present day, in which little space is devoted to the Phoenician city. The only two specific articles that have been
published are those we published on the city in the Persian period, which are already 35 years old. It therefore seems
essential to update these two articles by integrating new discoveries and studies in the field, and to extend the study
to the entire Phoenician period of the city. Tripoli has been neglected in academic research, but it deserves attention
because it was an important and original Phoenician city.

Keywords: Tripoli (Lebanon); Phoenician Period; History of Tripoli (Lebanon); Coins of Tripoli (Lebanon).
