Event
Roman annexation of Syria
The Roman annexation of Syria took place in 63 BCE, when the Roman general Pompey deposed the last Seleucid rulers and organised Syria as a Roman province. By then the Seleucid state had been reduced to a small, divided remnant around Antioch. The event marked the formal end of the Seleucid Empire, which had once stretched from the Aegean to Central Asia.
