Can anyone provide a good list of secondary (or primary) sources regarding the Seleucids? I'm currently gathering resources for a research project, and scholarship on the empire seems scarce. I already know of From Samarkhand to Sardis, but other works will be highly appreciative. Thanks.

Here are a few:
A Seleukid Prosopography and Gazetteer by John D. Grainger (this is a great resource to consult when working with primary sources)
The Seleucid Army by Bezalel Bar-Kochva
Judas Maccabaeus by Bezalel Bar-Kochva
Teleklos Archelaou

A couple more I've found useful are:
Lerner, Jeffrey D. 1999 The Impact of Seleucid Decline on the Eastern Iranian Plateau (mostly about the rise of Parthia and Baktria).
Studies in Hellenic Civilization I - Religion and Religious Practice in the Seleucid Kingdom (1990).
Plus, Kuhrt and Sherwin-White have another book: Hellenism in the East - 1987.
And a little of use in Greek Colonists and Native Populations - 1985 OUP.

I forgot another good, and hefty, one: House of Seleucus by Edwyn Robert Bevan.

In a side note Bevan also wrote the House of Ptolemy which you can read online here: http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/Places/Africa/Egypt/_Texts/BEVHOP/home.html
