The '''Seleucid dynasty''' or the '''Seleucidae''' ({{IPAc-en|s|ɪ|ˈ|l|uː|s|ɪ|ˌ|d|iː}}; {{langx|el|Σελευκίδαι}}, ''{{lang|grc-Latn|Seleukídai}}'', "descendants of Seleucus") was a [[Ancient Macedonians|Macedonian Greek]] royal family, which ruled the [[Seleucid Empire]] based in [[West Asia]] during the [[Hellenistic period]]. It was founded by [[Seleucus I Nicator]], a general and successor of [[Alexander the Great]], after the division of the [[Macedonia (ancient kingdom)|Macedonian Empire]] as a result of the [[Wars of the Diadochi|Wars of the Successors]] (''[[Diadochi]]'').  

Through its history, the Seleucid dominion included large parts of the [[Near East]], as well as of the [[Asia]]n territory of the earlier [[Achaemenid Empire|Achaemenid Persian Empire]]. A major center of [[Hellenistic culture]], it attracted a large number of immigrants from [[Ancient Greece|Greece]] who, encouraged by the Seleucids, formed a dominant political elite under the ruling dynasty.{{Sfn|Glubb|1967|p=34}} After the death of Seleucus I, his successors maintained the empire's strength establishing it as a Greek power in West Asia;{{Sfn|Eckstein|2006|p=106}} the empire reached its height under emperor [[Antiochus III the Great|Antiochus III]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Seleucid dynasty {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/summary/Seleucid-Empire |access-date=2023-12-04 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en}}</ref> From the mid-second century BC, after its defeat at the hands of the resurgent [[Parthian Empire]], the polity entered a state of instability with slow territorial losses and internecine [[Seleucid Dynastic Wars|civil wars]]. The Seleucids, now reduced to a rump state occupying a small part of Syria succumbed to the [[Roman Republic|Rome]]'s annexation of their territory in 64 BC under [[Pompey|Pompey the Great]].

==History==
===Background===
[[Seleucus I Nicator|Seleucus]] ({{c.}} 358 – 281 BC) served as an officer of [[Alexander the Great]], commanding the elite infantry corps in the [[Ancient Macedonian army|Macedonian army]]: the "Shield-bearers" ({{langx|el|Ὑπασπισταί}}, ''Hypaspistai''), later known as the "[[Silvershields]]" ({{lang|grc|Ἀργυράσπιδες}}, ''Argyraspides'').{{Sfn|Esposito|2019|loc=Chapter 8: The Seleucid Army}} After the death of Alexander in 323 BC, the [[Partition of Triparadisus]] assigned Seleucus as [[satrap]] of [[Babylon]] in 321 BC.{{Sfn|Kosmin|2014|p=16}} [[Antigonus I Monophthalmus|Antigonus]], the satrap of much of Asia Minor, forced Seleucus to flee from Babylon, but, supported by [[Ptolemy I Soter|Ptolemy]], the Satrap of Egypt, Seleucus returned in 312 BC.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Seleucid empire {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Seleucid-Empire |access-date=2023-12-04 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en}}</ref> Seleucus' later conquests included [[Persia]] and [[Medes|Media]]. He agreed to a peace treaty with the Indian King [[Chandragupta Maurya]] (reigned 324-297 BC).{{Sfn|Kosmin|2014|p=24}} Seleucus defeated Antigonus in the [[Battle of Ipsus]] in 301 BC and [[Lysimachus]] (King of Thrace, Macedon and Asia Minor) in the [[battle of Corupedium]] (near [[Sardis]]) in 281 BC.{{Sfn|Kosmin|2014|p=80}}<ref name=":0" /> [[Ptolemy Ceraunus]] assassinated Seleucus later in the same year. Seleucus' eldest son [[Antiochus I]] succeeded him as ruler of the Seleucid territories in 281 BC.
