Seleucus I was a leading officer
of Alexander the Great's League of Corinth and
one of the Diadochi. In the wars of the Diadochi
that took place after Alexander's death, Seleucus
established the Seleuciddy nasty and the
Seleucid Empire. His kingdom would be one of
the last holdouts of Alexander's former empire
to Roman rule. They were only outlived by the
Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt by roughly 34
years.
