Antioch was a city on Earth which the First Doctor and Susan visited before meeting Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright. They visited the city around the time of Jesus Christ. The Doctor found it a "brutal and murderous place". He went on to call it "terrible", replete with "slavery, crime in the streets, everybody stabbing everyone else in the back". He held the same views of Rome and Jerusalem, other ancient Earth cities the two Gallifreyans visited together. (PROSE: Byzantium!)
