What did Ptolemy III have to face after his military success in Syria?

  • A rebellion

  • A drought

  • A plague

  • A financial crisis

Answer

Ptolemy III had to face a rebellion after his military success in Syria. He was able to defeat the Seleucid Empire in the Battle of Raphia in 217 BC, but his victory did not come without a cost. Many of his soldiers were killed or wounded, and his treasury was depleted. This left him vulnerable to attack from within his own kingdom.
