"Seleucus II Callinicus Pogon (Greek: Σέλευκος Β´ Καλλίνικος, ο Πώγων Selefkos Defteros Kallinikos, o Pogon; Kallinikos means "gloriously triumphant"; Pogon means "the Beard"; July/August 265 BC – December 225 BC), was a ruler of the Hellenistic Seleucid Empire, who reigned from 246 BC to 225 BC. Faced with multiple enemies on various fronts, and not always successful militarily, his reign was a time of great turmoil and fragmentation for the Seleucid empire, before its eventual restoration under his second son and eventual successor, Antiochus III." - (en.wikipedia.org 09.12.2019)
