Ptolemy XVIII (575 - 23 January 635) was Diadochian Emperor from 618 to 635. A very prominent general in his youth, Ptolemy fought with success against the Persican Empire. Once he became Emperor, he brought the war with Persica to a victorious conclusion: the Empire's eastern border was vastly expanded and for the first time in nearly two centuries the Iberians were no longer obliged to pay the Persicans thousands of pounds of gold annually to maintain peace.

abstract
  • Ptolemy XVIII (575 - 23 January 635) was Diadochian Emperor from 618 to 635. A very prominent general in his youth, Ptolemy fought with success against the Persican Empire. Once he became Emperor, he brought the war with Persica to a victorious conclusion: the Empire's eastern border was vastly expanded and for the first time in nearly two centuries the Iberians were no longer obliged to pay the Persicans thousands of pounds of gold annually to maintain peace. Ptolemy XVIII campaigned extensively in the Haemus against the Khazars, pushing them back across the Istros river. He also conducted campaigns across the Istros, the first Iberian Emperor to do so in over two hundred years. In the West, he established two large semi-autonomous provinces called exarchates, ruled by exarchs, or viceroys, of the emperor. His reign was troubled by financial difficulties and almost constant warfare. In 635, a dissatisfied general named Artabasdosusurped the throne, having Ptolemy and his six sons executed. This event would prove cataclysmic for the Empire, sparking a devastating war with Persica that would leave both empires in a weakened state. To Ptolemy is traditionally attributed the authorship of the Strategikon, a manual of war which influenced the Diadochia military for nearly a millennium.
