The Seleucid army was the army of the Seleucid Empire, one of the numerous Hellenistic states that emerged after the death of Alexander the Great. As with the other major Hellenistic armies, the Seleucid army fought primarily in the Greco-Macedonian style, with its main body being the phalanx. The phalanx was a large, dense formation of men armed with small shields and a long pike called the sarissa. This form of fighting had been developed by the Macedonian army in the reign of Philip II of Macedon and his son Alexander the Great. Alongside the phalanx, the Seleucid armies used a great deal of native and mercenary troops to supplement their Greek forces, which were limited due to the distance from the Seleucid rulers' Macedonian homeland.

  • El ejército seléucida era la fuerza armada del Imperio seléucida, uno de los numerosos estados helenísticos que surgieron después de la muerte de Alejandro Magno. Al igual que los otros ejércitos helenísticos, el ejército seléucida utilizaba principalmente el estilo greco-macedonio, con su arma principal la falange. La falange era una gran formación densa de hombres armados con escudos pequeños y largas picas llamadas sarissa. Esta forma de lucha había sido desarrollada por el ejército macedonio en el reinado de Filipo II de Macedonia y su hijo Alejandro Magno. Junto a la falange, el ejército seléucida utilizó una gran cantidad de tropas nativas y mercenarios para complementar sus fuerzas greco-macedonias, que eran limitadas debido a la distancia entre la patria macedonia y los gobernantes (es)
  • Pasukan Seleukia adalah angkatan darat di Kekaisaran Seleukia, yang merupakan salah satu dari banyak negara Helenistik yang berdiri setelah kematian Aleksander Agung. Seperti halnya pasukan Helenistik besar lainnya, pasukan Seleukia bertempur terutama dengan gaya Yunani-Makedonia, dengan bagian utamanya berupa phalanx. Phalanx adalah formasi tempur yang besar dan padat yang terdiri dari sekumpulan prajurit. Dalam formasi phalanx, masing-masing prajurit membawa sebuah perisai kecil serta sebuah tombak panjang yang disebut sarissa. Bentuk pertempuran ini dikembangkan oleh pasukan Makedonia pada masa pemerintahan Philippos II dari Makedonia dan disempurnakan oleh putranya Aleksander Agung. Selain phalanx, pasukan Seleukia juga menggunakan sejumlah besar prajurit lokal serta tentara bayaran un (in)
  • L'armée séleucide est l'armée du royaume séleucide, l'un des principaux États hellénistiques (305-64 av. J.-C.). Comme chez les Lagides et les Antigonides, elle repose sur le modèle macédonien forgé par Philippe II et Alexandre le Grand. Son principal corps d'infanterie est la phalange de piquiers (ou sarissophores), tandis que la cavalerie lourde tient un rôle prépondérant sur le champ de bataille. Outre ces unités traditionnelles, l'armée séleucide intègre une grande quantité de troupes asiatiques, dont des éléphants de guerre et des cataphractaires, ainsi que des mercenaires de toutes origines pour compléter ses forces.

  • L'esercito seleucide fu lo strumento che permise ai sovrani della dinastia Seleucide di mantenere, espandere e difendere il proprio impero, dalla dissoluzione del regno di Alessandro Magno (323 a.C.) alla perdita degli ultimi territori in Siria (83 a.C.). I Seleucidi utilizzarono una armata simile a quella Macedone, aggiungendo a reparti tradizionalmente ellenistici come la falange truppe orientali. I re di Siria riusciranno sempre a mettere in campo eserciti molto numerosi e multietnici; l'armata Seleucide infatti fu una delle migliori armate in servizio ai Diadochi, dotata di effettivi numerosi, un'ottima cavalleria ed armi speciali come gli elefanti da guerra e carri falcati. Nonostante nelle file dell'esercito combattessero guerrieri da ogni angolo dell'Asia, la vera spina dorsale dell (it)
  • А́рмия Селевки́дов — армия созданной Селевкидами империи, одного из многочисленных эллинистических государств, образовавшихся после распада империи Александра Македонского. Как и другие армии эллинистических государств, армия Селевкидов придерживалась греко-македонской тактики ведения войны, то есть её основной ударной силой была фаланга. Фаланга представляла собой многочисленный плотный строй солдат, вооружённых небольшими щитами и длинными пиками под названием «сариса». Собственно фаланга появилась в македонской армии в правление Филиппа II Македонского, отца Александра, который также использовал подобное построение на поле боя. Однако Селевкиды полагались не только на фалангу. Особенности географического положения государства Селевкидов — области с развитым коневодством и соседство с го (ru)
