091: The Fifth Syrian War

The crisis in Egypt enabled Antiochus III to launch another invasion south into Ptolemaic territory, kickstarting the Fifth Syrian War (202-195) that finally delivered Coele Syria into Seleucid hands after almost a century of conflict. Antiochus' ambition to claim the territories of Seleucus I leads him to campaign in Europe, placing him on a collision course with the Roman Republic.

Can we take a moment and appreciate that Dr D. has produced this whole series without inserting political interpretation? There isn't even the usual Gibbonesque western chauvinism, it's just about as neutral a presentation as possible. That's the sign of a good historian, we are lucky to have these resources.

If Antiochus III had dropped dead right after this war he would have been considered perhaps even better than Seleucus I Nikator and an equal to Alexander.
