Descriptionof Seleucid Armies 312–63 BC
Manufacturer

The Seleucid Empire was founded in 312 BC by the Macedonian general Seleucus I Nicator after the death of Alexander the Great eleven years earlier and controlled much of the territory conquered by Alexander in Western Asia. At its peak, it stretched from the Mediterranean to Afghanistan. The colourful armies of Seleucus I and his successors are described and illustrated in this study of a great power of antiquity. Throughout the eventful history of their empire, the Seleucid kings employed huge armies recruited from various peoples and drawing on a variety of military traditions, including the powerful phalanx, war elephants, sickle chariots and camel archers. This study is illustrated throughout with photographs and drawings, as well as eight pages of specially commissioned illustrations, and draws on a wide range of literary, archaeological and artistic sources to examine the organisation, tactics, weapons and equipment of the various units of the Seleucid armies during two and a half turbulent centuries in antiquity.
