Founded by Seleucus I Nikátor, this dynasty ruled until 69 AD (when it was annexed to Rome by Pompey the Great) a vast territory that included Babylon, Syria and a large part of Asia Minor until it reached, to the east, the present Pakistan and by north to the deserts of the Aral Sea. It was a very heterogeneous state, made up of twenty peoples of different races, languages and religions and that brought together more than thirty million inhabitants.
