The Hellenistic Period (1 gen 323 anni a. C. – 1 gen 30 anni)

Descrizione:

Alexander the Great’s death threw ancient Greece and, thanks to Alexander’s conquests, most of the Mediterranean, into what is now known as the Hellenistic Period. Alexander died with no children and no clear heir, and though his top generals initially tried to preserve his kingdom, they soon split and fell into disputes and battles for control for the following four decades, known as the Wars of the Diadochi.

Eventually, four main Hellenistic Empires emerged; the Ptolemaic Empire of Egypt, the Antigonid Empire in classical ancient Greece and Macedonia, the Seleucid Empire of Babylon and the surrounding regions, and the Kingdom of Pergamon based largely out of the region of Thrace.
