In this episode Angus is joined by Josho Brouwers, Mark McCaffery and Marc DeSantis.

We look at Ancient Warfare Magazine volume 8, issue 4 "The ancient world\'s fragile giant: the Seleucid Empire at war".

"Seleucus, who eventually acquired the epithet \\u2018Nicator\\u2019 was not a prime candidate to succeed to the largest share of Alexander the Great\\u2019s empire when the king died in Babylon in 323 BC. He certainly held some rank in Alexander\\u2019s chain of command, but he was not a member of the inner circle, and a host of men had greater claim to rule. As things turned out, this was a good thing for Seleucus, as an early start in the age of the successors usually meant an early end."
