The remarkable thing is that the Hasidim-Pharisees who were the fathers of the Talmud did not wish to record therein their war and the military victory against the Seleucids. |
Now not only Rome's allies against Philip, but even Philip himself, sought a Roman alliance against the Seleucids. |
Outside these old towns, the first Seleucids developed an important politics of city founding. |
The political division of the land into 19 or 20 small satrapies, which is found later, under the Parthians, began under the Seleucids. |
The old Mesopotamian cities continued, as in the preceding period, their own life under the Seleucids. |
Other coins dating back to the times of the Seleucids Kingdom have been discovered on the same island. |
