Who ruled the Seleucid empire?

The Seleucid Empire was ruled by the Seleucid dynasty, founded by Seleucus I Nicator, a general of Alexander the great. It spanned from approximately 312 BCE to 63 BCE, encompassing regions of the Near East, including parts of modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Iran. The empire saw a succession of rulers, often facing challenges from rival kingdoms and internal strife, leading to its gradual decline. Ultimately, it fell under Roman control, marking the end of Seleucid rule.
