The Macedonian empire successor kingdoms 275 BC
Map of the Macedonian empire successor kingdoms, just before the first Syrian war circa 275 BC.
The Syrian Wars were a series of six wars between the Seleucid Empire and the Ptolemaic Kingdom during the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC over the region of Coele-Syria, one of the few avenues into Egypt. These conflicts drained the strength of both parties involved and led to their eventual destruction at the hands of Rome and Parthia.
