The Seleucid Empire is often regarded as more of a dynasty than a traditional empire due to its strong familial ties and the central role of the Seleucid royal family in governance. Founded by Seleucus I Nicator after the death of Alexander the great, the empire was characterized by a succession of rulers from the Seleucid lineage, who often prioritized dynastic interests over broader imperial cohesion. This dynastic focus led to internal conflicts, such as succession crises and power struggles among relatives, which undermined the stability and unity of the empire. Consequently, the personal ambitions of the Seleucid rulers often took precedence over effective administration of the diverse territories within the empire.
