Towards the end of his reign, where did Antiochus III have a serious setback?

  • In his war against Rome

  • In his conflict with Persia

  • In his campaign against Greece

Answer

Antiochus III experienced a significant setback towards the end of his reign during the Roman–Seleucid War, particularly in the decisive battle of Magnesia in 190 BCE. The conflict with the rising power of Rome proved disastrous, leading to Antiochus's defeat, the subsequent Treaty of Apamea, and the loss of vast territories and influence in Asia Minor and Greece.
