Gourt Home::Gourt :: Treaty of Apamea
The Treaty of Apamea of 188 BC, was peace treaty between the Roman Republic and Antiochus III (the Great), ruler of the Seleucid Empire. It took place after the Romans victories in the battle of Thermopylae (in 191 BC), in the Battle of Magnesia (in 190), and in some naval skirmishing in the Aegean Sea
In this treaty, Antiochus III was forced to surrender his warships and elephants, and to pay an indemnity of 15,000 talents to the Romans. He had also to give the control of a part of Anatolia to Pergamum, allied with the Romans in the battles and ruled by a Romans' client king. Antiochus kept the Pamphylia and Cilicia regions in Anatolia, but lost all the territory west of the Taurus Mountains.
The treaty was formalized at Apamea in Phrygia. It allowed the Romans to expand their domination to the East Mediterranean Sea.
