Antiochus III the Great, upon taking the Seleucid throne in 223 BCE, had set himself the task of restoring the lost imperial possessions of Seleucus I Nicator, which extended from Greco-Bactrian Kingdom in the east, the Hellespont in the north, and Syria in the south.
He has by 221 BCE reestablished Seleucid control over Media and Persia, which had been in rebellion.
