His tactical skills and his military innovations - including his use of war elephants on a scale never seen before in the West - earned him the epithet Nicator, \"victorious\". When he died at the hands of an assassin in 281 BC, Seleucus ruled over a larger territory than any Hellenistic monarch before or since his time, stretching from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean. This book is a study of his life and achievements, his time and his legacy. It is based on Graeco-Roman and Babylonian written sources as well as on the rapidly growing body of archaeological evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLise Hannestad is professor emerita of Classical Archaeology at Aarhus University.
