The Seleucid royal family was of Macedonian origin on its paternal side, Iranian on the maternal and exercised control of the empire by grafting Hellenistic forms of organization onto pre‐existing Near Eastern systems. As such, the introduction of new settlements and Greek‐style cities was an integral part of Seleucid imperial rule.
