(Redirected from Wikipedia:Featured topics/Roman–Seleucid war)
The Roman–Seleucid war was a Hellenistic period military conflict between two coalitions, one led by the Roman Republic and the other led by the Seleucid king Antiochus III. It gradually escalated from a cold war style conflict over which empire will exert its influence in Greece and Asia Minor, to an open confrontation. The fighting took place both on land and at sea, with the Roman led coalition emerging victorious and turning Asia Minor into a buffer zone.
