Beschreibung
A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the YearThe Seleucid Empire (311â¿64 BCE) was unlike anything the ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds had seen. Stretching from present-day Bulgaria to Tajikistanâ¿the bulk of Alexander the Greatâ¿s Asian conquestsâ¿the kingdom encompassed a territory of remarkable ethnic, religious, and linguistic diversity; yet it did not include Macedonia, the ancestral homeland of the dynasty. The Land of the Elephant Kings investigates how the Seleucid kings, ruling over lands to which they had no historic claim, attempted to transform this territory into a coherent and meaningful space. âThis engaging book appeals to the specialist and non-specialist alike. Kosmin has successfully brought together a number of disparate fields in a new and creative way that will cause a reevaluation of how the Seleucids have traditionally been studied.â?â¿Jeffrey D. Lerner, American Historical ReviewâIt is a useful and bright introduction to Seleucid ideology, history, and position in the ancient world.â?â¿Jan P. Stronk, American Journal of Archaeology
