Antiochus III, the younger son of Seleucus…

223 BCE

Antiochus III, the younger son of Seleucus II Callinicus, had succeeded his brother Seleucus III to the throne of the disorganized kingdom.

He has retained from the previous administration Hermias as chief minister, Achaeus, a cousin and general of Antiochus III, as governor of Asia Minor, and Molon and his brother Alexander as governors of the eastern provinces, Media and Persis.

Antiochus, when Molon rebels and assumes the title of king in 223, abandons a campaign against Egypt for the conquest of southern Syria, on the advice of Hermias, and marches against Molon.
