Polydamas Seleukid

Polydamas Seleukid (286 - 217 BC) was nephew to Antiochos I. He was the son of the disgrached Achaios, but due to his great skill he was still appointed archigrammateus. Where he excelled in interpreting and shaping the law to streamline administration and collect on taxes. However so many riches were acquired during the Second Seleukid-Antigonid War that the institution of additional taxes was not necessary for many years to come, despite Seleukos II's megalomanic building plans.
