Map of Central Asia & Eastern Mediterranean 334-323 BC |
|
Alexander's campaigns which led him to the furthest reaches of Central Asia started off in Greece in 334 BC. His route can be followed here, starting from Pella, and using a different colour for each year of his travels, progressing through red, orange-red, mid-orange, light orange, yellow, lime, light green, cyan, and light blue, with the route ending at Susa in 324 BC. Following Alexander's early death his empire broke up into several Hellenic sections which maintained Greek cultural influence across a great span of the ancient world for several centuries. Alexander's immediate successors held no real power, being mere figureheads for the generals who really held control of Alexander's empire.
