Finished Antiochus the Great. Excellent light reading as expected. I recommend it to anyone specifically interested in Antiochus III's "career". A last short chapter discusses the years following the Battle of Magnesia and the unwinding of the Kingdom and raises some interesting points. It's nothing new but if one is interested in getting the Seleucids story straight (hellenistic histories are a bit of a mess) this book is enough for the second half. Find one for the Seleykos Nikator (better yet Antigonos Monophthalmos) to Antiochos III period and you are done.

On another note, I am looking for something to read on Bactria, Hellenistic and later. All I find is Frank Holt's books and other very old ones. Any suggestions? Has anybody read any of Holt's books?
