Treaty of Apamea 188 BC
Seleucid king
Antiochus III the Great fancied an expansion of his kingdom.
But then he lost the
Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC and Rome made him sign the
Treaty of Apamea, which ordered him to stay away from Europe and
Asia Minor.
What Did the Treaty of Apamea Decree?
Also called the Peace of Apamea, the
Treaty of Apamea obligated
Antiochus III the Great to hand over his elephants, his ships
(all but 10),
and some hostages including Antiochus' son Antiochus IV and
top soldier
Hannibal. In addition, Antiochus had to pay
15,000 talents.
