Oxford University Press The Legacy Of Alexander : Politics Warfare And Propaganda Under The Successors by A. B. Bosworth
This major study by a leading expert is dedicated to the thirty years after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC. It deals with the emergence of the Successor monarchies and examines the factors which brought success and failure. Some of the central themes are the struggle for pre-eminence after Alexanders death, the fate of the Macedonian army of conquest, and the foundation of Seleucus monarchy. Bosworth also examines the statesman and historian Hieronymusof Cardia, concentrating on his treatment of widow burning in India and nomadism in Arabia. Another highlight is the first full analysis of the epic struggle between Antigonus and Eumenes 318-316, one of the most important and decisive campaigns of the ancient world.show more
