Historical times
**************
a- The Phoenician Period (3,300 B.C. to 64 B.C.)
*****************************************
It was during this time that the name Batroun first appeared in history, for example in the letters of Tal el Amarna, dating from the first half of the 14th century before Christ. A votive statuette of about 2,000 B.C. gives us an idea of the antiquity of the city. From the sea bottom around Batroun, fishermen sometimes bring up pieces of the pottery in which the Phoenicians used to carry their food products.Several sarcophagi have been exhumed from the Phoenician cemetery situated south of the town. The two docks of Batroun Port are separated by the Phoenician wall 225 m. long. The 9th century B.C. Phoenician citadel built by Ittobaal king of TYRE (approx. 887-856 B.C.) as a fortification to impede the advance of the Assyrian armies is the oldest surviving vestige of a building in the town . . . .
b- The Roman-Byzantine Period (64 B.C. to approx. 636 A.D.)
****************************************************
About the year 47 B.C. Julius Caesar gave the people of Batroun the right of Roman citizenship and then after 31 B.C. Augustus gave the town the right to strike its own coinage. The town enjoyed this privilege up to the middle of the third century A.D.. The Roman theater situated to the east of the Phoenician town was the local artistic and cultural center.
. . .
Historians believe that the Greek name of the town originates from the Phoenician word, bater, which means to cut and it refers to the maritime wall that the Phoenicians built in the sea to protect them from tidal waves . . . "
