Would having more centralized government saved the Seleucids?

After all, the Parthians go the hold of the east through strap revolts and Seleucids lost massive territories due to other satrap revolts.

centralization is hard work that requires prudent governance. not generally a Diadochi strongsuit

>bully not so tough after being raped

Megnesia was a lie.

Romans and Seleucids had the same number of men fighting and most of Seleucids failure came from accidents such has elephant rampage and chariot jams.

>that pic
Fucking Israeli propaganda, it gets on my nerves.

they needed a more decentralized government to make it more appealing for the tribes to at least ostensibly be a part of their system, at worst they would linger on like the Abbasids as mediators, facilitating trade, resolving disputes and organizing alliances despite only really controlling a few cities, ideally they would negotiate and marry into a powerful tribe that threatens to conquer everything, adapt and develop a stable longlasting system

>twenty six kingdoms
I'm more interested in them desu.

>they needed a more decentralized government to make it more appealing for the tribes to at least ostensibly be a part of their system
But wouldn't that lead to a more higher chance of revolt? After all, the satrapy system was already proven failure in Achaemenid time

>what is Cyprus

Why didn't the Seleucids intermarry with the native Syrians? Were they racist?

Tarim Basin oasis city-states were based as fuck.

Torah is 600 BC old AT BEST, and it puts Abraham in a time he simply could have not existed.

>no more chill Greco-Bactrian states with philosophers peacefully discussing with Buddhists without killing each other
Islam was a mistake

Nice try, Schlomo

They didn't?

Nothing is rightfully Turkish

I hope you're just as bothered by the """"""palestinian"""""" version

You fool.

Why didn't the Seleucids conquer the Hasmoneans? Did they fear the Hebrew warrior?

Yes, but the haredi are literally worse than Arabs.

Tbh Abraham was from modern day Iraq and when Moses finally arrived in Canaan with the Israelites there were already other people living there(amorrhites, Moabites) which were shoah'd and settled. But God gifted them the land for their loyalty and allowed them to settle there. But modern day rabbinical jews can't make the religious claim or historical claim that the land is theirs.

but nothing of value was lost

You do realize Abraham wasn't a historical person, right? Your argument is shitty considering History shows Israelites were just Canaanites that developed Monotheism so they called themselves Israelites and chimped out at the others. To say Jews don't belong in Judea is like saying Chinese don't belong in China. In fact, now that they are back in their homeland they are fixing their parasitic tendencies.

Antiochus the Great conquered all that from the Ptolemys

How did this thing manage to be such a clusterfuck? And how did it manage to achieve anything at all?

Why didn't the Hasmoneans conquer all of the Middle East? Did they fear the Goy warrior?

Nibba they did. Seleucus Nicator was one of the few people who didn't divorce right after the Susa marriage.

More like "Takes your entire eastern frontier while you were busy with dealing Antigonus in the west, so you really couldn't care about the east right now.

Also, Seleucids and Mauryans generally had good relationships.

>And how did it manage to achieve anything at all?

No it didn't. Name one accomplishment of the """Seleucids"""

Under-rated post, but you should just change Diadochi to Greek in general.

goyish is the adjective senpai
T. Jew

Okay i will try:

Seleukia on tigris the greatest greek colonie in middle est who have done Ctesiphon who have done Bagdad

Many and many towns and great royals cities who still alive today like latakia = laodicea, and Antiocheia, one of the cradles of christianity.

They are the only dynasty in Orient with antigonids who have really confront romans like mans and not desparate dogs

They have command many expeditions to recogniz and know the earth so they contribute to geographia and history

they offer for many poor greeks an another chance to make the life they wanted to live by the colonisation

And to finish they have done the all fucking business of rules and laws who alexander haven't done to make his dream come true

Nuristan seems to be genetically Greek influenced

Why?

How?
