About this episode

This episode discusses the Seleucid Empire and its impact on Babylonia and Assyria during the Hellenistic period.

We've had the opportunity to tour the Seleucid Empire under Antiochus the Great as he conquered his way from Syria to the Hindu Kush, and now it's time to discuss both the longstanding imperial core of Babylonia, and their long neglected neighbors in Assyria.
