 Antiochos III Megas "The Great" ( b. 242, 223-187 BC) From the Seleucid empire
Antiochus III was born in 242 BC, the son of Seleucus II, near Susa, Iran.
He was the Seleucid king of the Hellenistic Syrian Empire from 223 to 187 BC, and rebuilt the empire in the East but failed in his attempt to challenge Roman ascendancy in Europe and Asia Minor.
He reformed the empire administratively by reducing the provinces in size, established a ruler cult (with himself and his consort Laodice as divine), and improved relations with neighbouring countries by giving his daughters in marriage to their princes.

In 205 BC/204 BC the infant Ptolemy V Epiphanes succeeded to the Egyptian throne, and Antiochus concluded a secret pact with Philip V of Macedon for the partition of the Ptolemaic possessions (203 BC).

 Rome: The Conquest of the Hellenistic Empires
By 324 BC, when Rome still didn't control much of Italy and the city was still struggling with friction between the patricians and the plebeians, the entire world east of Rome, everything, was under the control of a single man, Alexander the Great.
Unfortunately for him, Antiochus III (223-187 BC), the king of the Seleucid empire, the second of the great Hellenistic empires, also was an empire builder.
By the middle of the second century BC, it had become apparent to Romans that the empire was a vast money-making machine and empire-building a fabulously lucrative affair.
