"When the vast empire of Alexander the Great broke up, the Macedonian general Seleucus
secured the lion's share for himself and went on to become the longest-lived of Alexander's
successors. His tactical skills and his military innovations - including his use of
war elephants on a scale never seen before in the West - earned him the epithet Nicator,
"victorious". When he died at the hands of an assassin in 281 BC, Seleucus ruled over
a larger territory than any Hellenistic monarch before or since his time, stretching
from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean. This book is a study of his life and achievements,
his time and his legacy. It is based on Graeco-Roman and Babylonian written sources
as well as on the rapidly growing body of archaeological evidence."
