History of the Seleucid Empire | Ancient History Documentary

The Seleucid Empire, born from the vision of Seleucus I Nicator in 312 BC, marked a pivotal era in West Asia's Hellenistic history. Its vast territorial expansion, cultural significance, and interactions with rivals shaped the region profoundly. While it eventually declined and was annexed by Rome, the Seleucid Empire's legacy endures as a testament to the influence of Hellenistic civilization in the ancient world.

We decided to upgrade our History of Seleucid Empire video! Im really proud of the artwork for this video. What subjects would you like to see? Let me know down below!

Selecus's wife Apama was the daughter of a Sogdian warlord. They were married as part of Alexander's Susa Weddings, but unlike the other Macedonian generals, Selecus stayed married to Apama after Alexander's death and even made her his queen. They had three children together, and in a way their union signified that the Seleucid Empire was going to be a mix of Greek-Macedonian and Iranian cultures.

Glad more people are using the alternative history art style

Seleucus is my favorite of the Diadochi and the Seleucids my favorite empire, the ones I consider to be the real successor to Alexander due their tolerant multicultural approach. Shame their downfall was a foregone conclusion.

Seleucus was an ambitious man and he attained title of Baseilus. That was his main goal and he would have conquered Macedonian too if he wasn't got assassinated.

We deserve a movie or web series on Seleucids 😢

[charlesdeleo]

Fun fact: Seleucus was a distant ancestor of mine. Still, we jokingly refer to ourselves as the “Last of the Seleucids”.

[briangoad]

Excellent video thank you so much! Not enough video content on the Seleucid empire!

[antoniomoreira]

If anyone's interested in the topic I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's hellenistic warfare and history series

Ahhh the mighty Seleucid empire which had the most potential out of all the Hellenistic kingdoms but alas did not reach its untapped potential. One of the most glaring strengths which the Seleucid empire had was its gigantic manpower reserve (which dwarfed the manpower of the Roman republic) but alas the Selecuids elected not to enroll natives into the Phalanx or army proper and instead used then as auxillaries (unlike Alexander and his 30, 000 Persian phalanx) and the empires fetish with Syria lead to its downward trajectory and which of course was hastened by Rome and Parthia and internal civil strife betwixt rival claiments to the throne

Glorious to see, that this master piece exist.
All Hail to the successor or Diadochi kingdom of the Seleucids.
Seleucus I. Nicator, my grand-ancestor.

[micahistory]

interesting, I find that this empire tends to be underrated so I am glad you made a video about it

[truthfulgaming]

I really enjoy learning about history and this video is masterfully made and is quite inspirational.

[nielsifly]

Alexander's invasions were felt all over the world except maybe China and other east asian nations. In North Western India which included Pakistan and Afghanistan, Greek language became popular due to indo greek Satraps and rulers.

Seleucus was a visionary, no doubt, but his empire had bad borders.
