According to my calculations and information from Wikipedia (neither too reliable but here goes) Pompey was 47 and Julia was 24 when they married. Not sure if there was a substantial age difference between Seleucus Nicator and Apama I just like the fact that Seleucus loved her enough to make her his queen and legitimize their illegitimate child (Antiochus I) as the heir to the Seluecid throne (she had originally been his mistress). Also the fact that Seleucus was one of the few Macedonians to keep his Persian wife after the marriages at Susa.
