Sostrate (region)

Sostrate is a region in Susiana and home to a large number of stone quarries.

The quarring of the mass amount of stone needed for the Seleukos II plans for Seleukeia lead to a serious accident at killing a large number of slaves. The pleas for support were ignored by Seleukos II. The empire was overflowing with slaves from the Second Seleukid-Antigonid War who could easily replace the missing slaves and production.
