We begin our first tour of the Macedonian Empire a week after Alexander the Great's death. Having secured control of the regency in the name of the Kings Philip III Arrhidaeus and Alexander IV, Perdiccas convenes a council to appoint satraps across the empire, in what would later become known as the "Partition of Babylon".

Blood is spilled in Babylon, as the generals Perdiccas and Meleager resort to ruthless measures in the struggle over who should succeed Alexander the Great as King of Macedon.

The unexpected death of Alexander the Great in Babylon during the summer of 323 BC throws the Hellenic World into chaos, as his generals debate who will succeed him to rule the largest empire on Earth.

Hi there! In this introduction episode, I let you know what the focus of the show is and why I've decided to create it.
