A proposito di questo titolo

On June 10, 323 BCE, Alexander the Great died in Babylon at age 32, leaving no clear heir and a vast empire stretching from Greece to India. This episode opens in that sweltering room as his generals gather around his deathbed, then pulls back to explore the immediate crisis: his pregnant wife Roxana, his half-witted half-brother Philip III, and the infant Alexander IV. Lucas and Luna discuss the Partition of Babylon, the rise of Perdiccas as regent, and the first cracks that would split the empire into warring successor states. They touch on the key players—Ptolemy, Seleucus, Antigonus, Cassander—and preview how the Diadochi wars reshaped the ancient world for centuries. The episode sets the stage for a series that will follow the collapse of Alexander's dream and the birth of the Hellenistic age.
