The Diadochi's Role in Preserving Territories

The Diadochi, successors of Alexander the Great, played a crucial role in maintaining the vast territories of the former Persian Empire. Their efforts allowed them to stabilize regions such as Babylon, Egypt, and Judea, which were previously part of a united empire. Unlike their Roman counterparts, the Diadochi managed to integrate diverse cultures and maintain local governance, contributing to their wealthier status compared to the West. Their ability to blend cultures is exemplified by Hellenization, showing both good and bad outcomes as various cultures interacted.
