In 220 BC, Antiochus III the Great of the Seleucid Empire, defeated Molon, a rebelling satrap, after several setbacks against Molon's forces. Molon had taken over the upper satrapies and had crossed the Tigris, and taken Seleucia. But Antiochus decided to march against Molon in person, and the desertion of the rebel left wing ensured victory for Antiochus. What if Molon had defeated Antiochus? Could he advance into Syria? How will he deal with the wavering loyalty of his troops? What if Antiochus dies in the battle? How could the Ptolemaic kingdom take advantage? How will the other satraps react?
WI: Antiochus is defeated by Molon in 220 BC
