Alexander the Great conquered the city in or around 330 BC. After he died there was a lot of in fighting amongst his remaining generals, and during the time the city fell to ruins. It wasn't till Demertius III rebuilt the city renaming it demetrias that people began to live and work there again.. When the Romans came it was again conquered and rebuilt and incorporated it into a group of ten cities name decapolius. By that point Isaiah's Damascus was long gone.
