Antiochus III.
Beaten by Egypt early on.
Has quite a few victories/successes in the middle of his reign.
Gets his ass kicked by Rome near the end of his reign.
Quite an up and down career there.
217 B.C. – during the second Punic war, one year before the battle of Cannae. A really bloody time of the old world….
the only games who cover this period well is Imperator(made by Paradox).

10:48 Ah yes, the small town of Rapha.
1. This isn’t a larger battle than Ipsus 2. Antiochus first campaign never made it as far as Jerusalem they were blocked at the border. 3. You include a nonexistent siege of Damascus (mentioned in no sources) while missing the Jordan-Arabia campaign which is sourced.
