Contradiction

[edit]

According to the treaty, west of Tarsus was to be surrendered to Roman Empire. But according to the third paragraph of this article Antiochus kept Cicilia. Well, Tarsus is situated rather to the east part of Cicilia. So if west of Tarsus were to be abandoned, Antiochus III couldn't keep Cilicia save a small area in the east.

@SnowFire and Gala.martin: I am proposing a merge for this page into Syrian War (192–189 BC). It's the peace treaty which ends the war; a short separate article on the treaty itself can easily fit into the article on the war itself. In effect, WP:OVERLAP. (Pinged all non-IP users with edits more than 10pc of the page.) Ifly6 (talk) 22:15, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ifly6: Thanks for the heads up. It could go either way. The main thing is that there's some knock-on effects of the Treaty where only the treaty is really relevant, and the rest of the Roman-Seleucid War isn't. This is most notably the "enforcement" action around 162 BCE that helped destabilize Lysias where some ships were burnt & elephants slain, as well as the general lack of funds that caused money shortages. I'd weakly favor keeping this a separate article just for ease of referencing just-the-peace-terms for articles on those later periods, but could certainly be convinced if others feel otherwise.

Couldn't something like that rather easily fit into something like an Aftermath section? Ifly6 (talk) 17:10, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, nobody else has weighed in. Thought about this some more, and think that there should probably be a separate article for this for consistency if nothing else - we seem to have separate articles on other treaties, such as the Peace of Antalcidas (King's Peace) or the Roman–Jewish Treaty. That said, I do agree that including most if not all of the content of this article in an "Aftermath" section of the Roman-Seleucid War article is fine. I'm not normally a fan of it because it hides things, but the {{excerpt}} is one way to duplicate content across two articles, but simply having some duplication is fine too.

I think doing an excerpt for this is a good idea. Do you at all know how that template works? Ifly6 (talk) 02:24, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
