	Parthia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was not until the 2nd century BCE that the Parthians were able to profit from the continuing erosion of the Seleucid Empire, gradually capturing all its territories east of Syria.
		The end of this loosely organized empire came in 224 CE, when the last king was defeated by one of the empire's vassals, the Persians of the Sassanid dynasty.
		The Seleucid monarchs attempted to "hold the line" against the Parthian expansion; Antiochus IV Epiphanes spent his last years on a campaign against the newly emerging Iranian states.

	Seleucid dynasty
		Unlike Alexandria in Egypt, the Seleucid Empire was no center of Hellenistic culture and science, but some of the Stoic philosophers came from Syria, and the world-leading physician Erasistratos lived at the court of Seleucus I.

		The centralised Persian Empire was easy to govern once it was conquered, and the Macedonian military hegemony was by and large unthreatened, but the king had died without appointing a successor.

	Dave Kopel on Hanukkah on National Review Online
		Israel had lived peacefully under the Persian Empire and under the Ptolemic empire (of Egypt), both which tolerated Judaism; but the Seleucid Emperor Antiochus Epiphanes was a bigoted Hellenizer, who attempted to force the Jews to abandon their religion and to adopt Greek customs and worship.

	An Interpretation of the Book of Daniel
		Thus, the statute’s feet loosely held together with clay and iron are representative of the loosely knit Seleucid Empire that was shattered by the Roman “rock”.
		The Roman Empire was not therefore part of the statue or one of the beasts described in Daniel 7: 2 to 7: 8 which represented kingdoms which dominated Babylon.
		The Roman Empire struck in that it shattered the Greek kingdom as well as the prestige of its gods in the land of Babylon as symbolized by the statue.

		In this case, I have expressed disappointment that this is not a history of the Seleukid empire, at least not in the traditional sense.
		What we get, in fact, is a revisionist view of the empire in the third century: not a tottering colossus destined to collapse, but a vibrant and cohesive unit in which Greek and non-Greek cultures and systems are juxtaposed.

	Ethics of the Hellenistic Era by Sanderson Beck
		The Seleucid kingdom dated its beginning from 312 BC when Seleucus I Nicator seized Babylon in his own name; but his empire was not really established until Antigonus I was defeated at Ipsus in 301 BC, and Asia Minor was not included until Lysimachus was eliminated in Lydia in 281 BC.
		This Seleucid empire extended from the Aegean Sea to what is now Afghanistan, containing about one and a half million square miles and about thirty million people compared to seven million in Egypt and four million in Macedonia.
		The Seleucid army then defeated the Egyptians at Panium in 200 BC, and five years later Ptolemy V surrendered his Asian holdings in a treaty and accepted Antiochus' daughter Cleopatra I as a bride.

		The conditions of your surrender are thus: all hostilities between Seleucia and Armenia shall cease immediately, full military access throughout the lands of Seleucia shall be given to Seleucid forces and a tribute of 1 gold per turn per city owned by the Seleucid empire will have to be payed to Egypt.
		As I said failure to comply will mean war as Egypt will regain its empire by whatever means necessary.
		There are plus-sides, however; If you surrender then Armenia will have to cease hostilities as they are allied with Egypt at present and we will protect your lands from any foreign invaders.
