The Seleucid Kingdom. The Greatest Legacy of Alexander the Great

The book by Edwin Robert Bevan is devoted to the history of the largest and most powerful state of the Hellenistic world, founded by Seleucus I Nikator in the Middle East after the collapse of the empire of Alexander the Great. The historian examines the political and administrative structure of the Seleucid state, describes the life path and achievements of its rulers, and also tells about the struggle for power of Alexander the Great's successors and their descendants, which weakened the Syrian kingdom and made it an easy target for the Roman Republic.
