 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).

 Virtual Karak Resources Project: Historical Study
When the successors to Alexander the Great (died in 323 BC) came to rule Egypt, they too considered all the land as their property.
In practice, however, these rulers (whether Ptolemies 320-198 BC, Seleucids 198-164 BC, Hasmoneans 164-31 BC, or Herodians 31 BC-AD 70) tended to appropriate only the best lands for themselves and to allow the peasant freeholders to farm small plots if they paid the ruler taxes or rents.
Such a practice resulted in several huge landed estates which belonged to the ruler and which were passed on to the next ruler.
