Seleucid Empire
Seleucid Empire appears on the map from 318 BCE to 64 BCE. At its greatest recorded extent, in 301 BCE, it covered about 2.98 million km².
The Seleucid Empire was the largest of the kingdoms formed from Alexander's conquests. Seleucus, one of Alexander's officers, seized Babylon in 312 BCE, the date from which the dynasty counted its years, and won most of the Asian provinces at the Battle of Ipsus in 301 BCE. The Seleucids ruled a vast mix of peoples through Greek-style cities, governors and a Macedonian army, founding new towns such as Antioch. More about Seleucid Empire.
