Summary: Useful Reference Tool
Comment: This book is useful for anyone who wants to do research on Seleucid history. It is organized into different sections, making it easy to search for a specific king, city, or individual from this period. The entries all contain detailed references, making it a simple matter for the reader to go back to the original texts in order to learn more about the subjects mentioned in this book. The section on the Seleucid royal family is particularly interesting and useful. It is often difficult to keep track of the various members of the royal family, given their tendency to fight each other and marry multiple times. This gazetteer makes it much easier to understand the relation of all these different people to each other. Where relevant, the discussion of the member of the royal family includes a brief description of their coin types, which is helpful for anyone who has a numismatic interest in the Seleucids. I would recommend this book as valuable reference tool. Such a book has certainly been needed and ably fills a gap in the previous literature.
