Any book ideas for the Seleucid Empire?
#4
From Samarkhand to Sardis is indeed THE book to read. The Cambridge Economic History of the Greco-Roman World (2007) contains a good chapter on the economy. Of some interest: the newly discovered Babylonian Chronicles of the Hellenistic Period. Especially interesting is BCHP 11, which contains new information about Ptolemy III in the Seleucid Empire. He actually captured Babylon, something we did not know before.
