Abstract

We intend to investigate the formation of the Seleucid empire highlighting its relationship with the Babylonian elite, in order to detect the imperial strategies of annexation and appropriation of the local culture to form its structures of power and territorial representation. At the same time, we seek to analyze how the Babylonian elite reacts and / or cooperates with such policies. As main sources to reflect that questions we used cuneiform literary production, allowing us to thinking how its annexation to the Seleucids and a denser integration to an Afro-Euro-Asian world alters the local culture, being necessary to reconfigure the ways of representing its space, new semantic concepts and content, as well as new analogies and comparisons to enable the inclusion of new cultural references.
