They call me many things: Murderer. Cutthroat. Thief. But you may call me The Seleucid. This article is about a subject that lacks an official name and is known only by its nickname, title, or alias. |
- "The time has come for Antiogos, the dragon of the Seleucid Empire! Marvel at his command over flame!"
- ―Alba describing The Seleucid.[src]
The Seleucid was a Greek gladiator who fought in the Arena in Cyrene. He typically fought armed with a glaive.
In 47 BCE, he was challenged by the Medjay Bayek of Siwa, who witnessed him throwing a sword at one of the spectators in the arena. Bayek later defeated the gladiator with a spear and shield.
Trivia[]
- The name Seleucid is a reference to the Seleucid Empire, possibly hinting that the gladiator originated from the state.
- It is possible that the Seleucid's real name is 'Antiogos' because of one of the commentator's lines before the fight.
- Αντιοχος (Antiochos), from Greek αντι (anti) "against, compared to, like" and οχη (oche) "support", was the name of several rulers of the Seleucid Empire.
