The great colonnaded street in Constantinople was named the Mese (in Greek), and it appears that similar streets in other eastern cities, including Antioch, had the same name:

This writer suggests that the one in Antioch might also have been called the Via Triumphalis (this is a really good site about Antioch generally, if you haven't come across it before):
