A Hellenistics state, it was one of the successors of the Macedonian Empire. It was founded by the Macedonian general Seleucus. Initially it controlled the entire eastern region of the former Macedonian Empire (modern-day eastern Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria), but it slowly lost most of its territories and was reduced to a rump state controlling only Syria when it was conquered by the Romans.
