Age of Conquests
Book • 2018
In Age of Conquests: The Greek World from Alexander to Hadrian, Angelos Chaniotis examines how Alexander's successors reorganized Persian lands, creating a new empire from the eastern Mediterranean to Afghanistan.
The book explores the fragile balance of power in Greece and Macedonia that repeatedly dissolved into war.
It traces Rome's military and diplomatic dismantling of post-Alexandrian political structures from the late third century BCE. Chaniotis argues that the Hellenistic world continued until Hadrian’s death in 138 CE, with social, economic, and cultural trends intensifying under Roman rule.
The book provides a compelling narrative of ancient civilization's shaping events over five crucial centuries.
