Titles

The Delegation to Seleucos II at Baiseira. A Brief Note

Abstract

This contribution discusses the location of Baiseira, where Seleucos II, during his campaign against the Parthians, gave an audience to a delegation from a group of villages involved in horse breeding. The article challenges the assumption that the epistle comes from Drangiana and suggests that it better fi ts the context of appeals to the king from Media.

Keywords

Seleucids, Seleucos II, Media, Drangiana, horse breeding, Greek epigraphy, Iranian world.
