About This Item
(Subject: Early Warfare) In 223 BC, Antiochus III inherited the Seculid Empire - an empire ravaged by civil strife. Proving himself a true heir of Alexander, he defeated rebel armies and embarked on a campaign of conquest and reunification. Although repulsed by Ptolemy IV at the Battle of Raphia, his eastern campaigns reaffirmed Seleucid hegemony as far as modern Afghanistan and Pakistan. Returning westward, he defeated Ptolemy V at Panion (200 BC) and succeeded in adding Koile Syria to his realm. At the height of his powers, he challenged growing Roman might, but his expeditionary force was crushed at Thermopyla and he was finally decisively defeated at the epic battle of Magnesia.
