These cities retained traditional Greek city state institutions such as assemblies, councils and elected magistrates, but this was a facade for they were always controlled by the royal Seleucid officials. Apart from these cities, there were also a large number of Seleucid garrisons (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;choria&amp;#039;&amp;#039;), military colonies (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;katoikiai&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) and Greek villages (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;komai&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) which the Seleucids planted throughout the empire to cement their rule. This &amp;#039;Greco-Macedonian&amp;#039; population (which also included the sons of settlers who had married local women) could make up a phalanx of 35,000 men (out of a total Seleucid army of 80,000) during the reign of [[Antiochus&amp;amp;nbsp;III]].
