Herman Bengtson's book is, in fact, a history of the Hellenistic world presented in person, covering the entire time of its existence (XNUMXth-XNUMXst centuries BC), from the commanders of Alexander the Great, who divided the empire he created among themselves, to the last in the Ptolemaic dynasty Egyptian queen Cleopatra VII. One fascinating life story flows into another, and we are presented with a picture of continuous movement, causing kaleidoscopic changes in Greece, Asia Minor and the Eastern Mediterranean. But all this happens only until Rome, having finally defeated Carthage and accumulated enough strength, begins to dictate its will to the Hellenistic kings. With the power of his legions, he subjugates one territory after another, and now the empires of the Seleucids and Ptolemies are collapsing and becoming the Roman provinces of Macedonia, Pergamum, Bithynia, Crete and Cyrenaica, Cilicia and Cyprus, Syria and Egypt ... University, member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences.
