Mesopotamian colonization Since Greece was overpopulated at the
beginning of Seleucid rule, it was not difficult to persuade
colonists to come to the east, especially when they were given

would revert to the king. Theoretically all land belonged to the
ruler, but actually local interests... What made you want to
