al-Rastan
edit- ... that al-Rastan, known as "Arethusa" during the Roman period in Syria, served as the first capital of the Emesani dynasty in the mid-1st-century BCE?

Both factoids are sourced and present; article is in good shape and ready to do. Not 100% sure on "in the mid-1st-century BCE", would suggest "during the 1st century BCE" instead. Otherwise we're fine. GRAPPLE X 21:54, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, I specified "mid" 1st-century because in the early 1st-century the Emesani kingdom did not exist and during the last decades of that century the capital was moved to Emesa. --Al Ameer son (talk) 23:32, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
