Question on Seleukid govermental practicies

Thanks very much Abou, I just needed the basics, really, the details can be worked out later.

Incedentaly, has the EB team ever made plans to implement this into EB? Or is there some major reason why it won't work? (If there is I would like to no before I waste too much of my time on it

)

Thanks you

More questions, you say the western capital would be either Antiocheia or Seleukeia, and the east in the timeframe was ruled from Ekabatana. I assume that the king would not spend all of his time in his capital, but would go on tour through his satrapies?

Also is anything know of the coronation cermonies, ie. where di they occur, was the ling of the east crowned in Seleukia, and then sent to the east, or did he officaly take the control of the eastern satrapies when he reached Ekbatana?

Yes, you could assume that. That and campaigning.

Not that I know of.

Thanks for that. Also if it is not too much to ask, would it be alright if I asked you to validate (in terms of histroical accuracy) a few ideas I have on this, but which the team would like to keep secret for the moment. Prehaps in return for this favour, you could use the idea in eb, if you think it of sufficent merit?
