    Its really a shame so much history was los or distorted... The people who burned great libraries didn't give flying flip about history. Imagine if the great library of Alexandria survived, we would know so much more.

    Ptolemaic dynasty. It lasted the longest, it was related to a Roman Emperor and it had most of the wonders of the world at that time.

    The biggest mistake Antiochus III made was not invading Egypt after Panion. At this time the Romans could not have intervened and had Antiochus added Egypt to his Kingdom, he might well have been unbeatable. The Ptolemies and Seleucids had something like 120,000 men combined at Raphia and 150,000 men combined at Panion. It should come as no surprise that Rome did not want to see a winner in the Syrian wars i.e. the Seleucids. They would have had to take on a potential colossus had the Seleucids won out.
