|Seleucid| |Kingdom|, |Seleukid| |Kingdom,| |Antiochus| |II| |Theos,| |261| |-| |246| |B.C.|, Seleucia was one of the great cities of the world during Hellenistic and Roman times. It was founded about 305 B.C., when an earlier city was enlarged and dedicated as the first capital of the Seleucid Empire by Seleucus I Nicator. Although Seleucus soon moved his main capital to Antioch, in northern Syria, Seleucia remained an important center of trade, Hellenistic culture, and regional government under the Seleucids.
