 Lucius Cornelius Sulla, 138-78 BC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Lucius Cornelius Sulla, 138-78 BC famous Roman general stood poised to take the unprecedented step of marching on Rome with his legions, to purge the Senate of his political enemies and to ensure the downfall of a rival general, once more famous, now vying for command of the Roman armies.
It was while in the East that Sulla allegedly was told by a mystic that he would achieve greatness and die at the very height of his good fortune, a prophecy Sulla apparently took seriously and recounted in his memoirs.
However, he totally ignored the dangers to the state of his own actions and made no effort to ensure that his precedent of marching on Rome with loyal legions could not be followed by those generals coming after him to intimidate and control the state.

Antiochus I (reigned 281-261 BC) and his son and successor Antiochus II Theos (reigned 261-246 BC) were faced with challenges in the west, including repeated wars with Ptolemy II and a Celtic invasion of Asia Minor -- distracting attention from holding the eastern portions of the Empire together.

The city was founded about 300 BC by Seleukos I Nikator, the founder of the Seleukid Dynasty, and it became the principal capital of the Seleukid Empire.
The city was founded in 312 BC by Seleukos I Nikator at the confluence of the Tigris River and a major canal from the Euphrates.
Later in 305/4 BC, when Seleukos I took the diadem and assumed the royal title “King”, he retained the numbering of his regnal years in Babylon but employed the Makedonian calendar and thus pushed his accession year back to Dios, 312 BC (Dios was the first month of the Makedonian calendar; it corresponds to October-November).

 Bible Study - The Seleucids
Seleucus was the Macedonian general who, as one of the Diadochi, or Successors, of Alexander, acquired the vast eastern section of the empire centered on the territory of the old Babylonian empire (see Ancient Empires - Babylon).
From him was established the Seleucid Dynasty that lasted for two and a quarter centuries from 312 B.C. Seleucus received the satrapy of Babylonia in 321 B.C. from Antipater, the administrator of Alexander's kingdom.
This included their heathen religion, which from the perspective of Bible History, reached its most outrageous extreme in 167 B.C. when Antiochus IV Epiphanes (see above) entered the Temple of God (see Temples) in Jerusalem, erected an altar to the pagan god Zeus, and sacrificed a pig on it (see Clean and Unclean).

 Wikinfo | Parthia
The Parthian Empire was the dominating force on the Iranian plateau beginning in the late 3rd century BCE, and intermittently controlled Mesopotamia between ca 190 BC and AD The Parthians were an illiterate nomadic people, thought to have spoken an Indo-Iranian languages, who arrived at the Iranian plateau from Central Asia.
It was not until the second century BC that the Parthians profited from the increasing Seleucid weakness and gradually captured all of their territories east of Syria.
Once the Parthians had captured Herat, the movement of trade along the Silk Road to China was effectively choked off, and the post-Alexandrian Hellenistic kingdom in Bactria was doomed.

The prosperity and power of Pergamum continued under Attalus II Philadelphus, who reigned from about 160 to 138 BC, and Attalus III Philometor, who reigned from 138 to 133 BC; the last-named ruler, having no heirs, bequeathed his kingdom to the Romans.

 Mithradates I (c. 171 - 138 B.C.)
The death of Antiochus IV in 164 B.C. would certainly have reduced pressure on Parthia from the west.
The best account appears to be that Timarkhos, Seleucid satrap of Media lost some territory in the area of Rhagae and farther east, to Mithradates I, while the Seleucid reconquest did not recover this land but did recapture Ecbatana.
Mithradates entered the royal city of Seleucia and was recognized as King on or before July 8, 141 B.C. Before October 141 B.C., Mithradates sovereignty was acknowledged as far south as Uruk.

 Delphic Hymns
It was found inscribed in stone in Delphi in 1893 by a French archaeologist; all that is known about its composer is that it was written by an Athenian, around 138 BC, since the part of the inscription giving the name of the composer is difficult to read.
The occasion of the later hymn was the Pythian Festival, and the earlier hymn was probably written for the boys choir at the Pythian Games in 138 BC.
In addition to being the earliest surviving substantial fragment of ancient music, the First Delphic Hymn is also the longest; unfortunately it is not a complete composition (the Seikilos epitaph, dated anywhere between the 2nd century BC and the 1st century AD, is the earliest surviving complete piece of music).

 Phraates II (c. 138 - 127 B.C.)
Sixth king of the Arsacid dynasty, Phraates II took the throne on the death of his father, Mithradates I in 138 B.C. He can be assumed to have been very young, for his mother, whose name was Ri-'nu, acted as regent.
Babylonia remained in the hands of the Parthians until 131 B.C., but Phraates II's coinage shows he spent little time there since he was occupied with campaigns against nomadic invaders in the east.
Lack of a specific mention of Phraates II's presence in Mesopotamia may indicate that Phraates was already in the east fighting the Saka in 130 B.C. The invasion would appear to have come over the Silk Route leading to Mesopotamia through Merv, Hecatompylos and Ecbatana.
