Join us on a journey through the storied history of the Seleucid Empire, a pivotal chapter in the ancient world's tapestry. Founded by Seleucus I Nicator in the aftermath of Alexander the Great's conquests, the Seleucid Empire spanned from the Aegean Sea to the borders of India, embodying the ambitious spirit of the Hellenistic era. This video explores how Seleucus navigated the tumultuous Diadochi Wars to establish his dynasty, the empire's expansion under successive rulers, and its unique blend of Greek and Eastern cultures.

Discover the administrative innovations that enabled the Seleucid Empire to govern such vast territories, from its centralized bureaucracy to the integration of local customs and governance structures. Explore the empire's cultural synthesis, where Greek language and artistic traditions mingled with diverse local practices, fostering a cosmopolitan society from Antioch to Seleucia.

Follow the military campaigns that shaped Seleucid history, including conflicts with Ptolemaic Egypt and the influential Battle of Ipsus against Antigonid Macedon. Witness the zenith of Seleucid power under Antiochus III the Great, as the empire expanded eastward into the Near East and encountered the rising power of Rome in the west.

Experience the challenges that led to the Seleucid Empire's decline, from internal strife and succession crises to external pressures from the Parthian Empire and Armenian Kingdom. Learn about pivotal events such as the Maccabean Revolt and Roman intervention, which marked the empire's gradual fragmentation and eventual annexation by Pompey the Great in 63 BCE.

Despite its political decline, the Seleucid Empire's legacy endured through its cultural diffusion, leaving a lasting imprint on literature, art, philosophy, and commerce across the Hellenistic world. Cities like Antioch and Seleucia remained vibrant hubs of trade and intellectual exchange, influencing subsequent civilizations in the Near East and beyond.
