Civilizations in Review: Seleucid Empire
The Seleucid empire had it all: the Cilician pirates, goats cheese, metropolises, and multi-river conquest! The Seleucid Empire served as a buffer politically and economically between the mega Roman and Mauryan empires while also maintaining alliances with the famed Cilician pirates. Thank you to content writer Emily Shultis for shedding light on this influential 300 year empire, especially explaining how it is credited with the formation of the modern Mediterranean palate of goats cheese and olives.
