Antiochos II pursued dynastic expansion and war but left an unstable succession when his marriage alliances collapsed. His son Seleukos II inherited the resulting civil conflict and faced sustained challenges to central authority. Their reigns mark a decisive shift from imperial expansion toward defensive struggles that weakened royal control and encouraged regional independence.
