Map Description

Two Historical Maps of the Macedonian Empire after 301 BC and around 200 BC.

The Kingdoms of the Diadochi (Successors).


:: Map Left ::

Kingdoms of the Diadochi after the Battle of Ipsus (301 BC).

Boundaries of the satrapies formed at the partition after the death of Alexander in 323 BC.

Names of satrapies are distinguished from those of other sections of country in bold letters.

The countries not fully subjected, i.e. spheres of influence are marked with a colored border.



:: Map Right ::

Kingdoms of the Diadochi at the beginning of the struggle with Rome (about 200 BC).

Territory recovered for the Seleucid dominions by Antiochus III (223-187 BC).

Areas left uncolored:

1. that of the Galatians, because they constituted a foreign element in the kingdoms of the Diadochi;

2. that of the free states of Greece, because the scale of the map is too small to show their political outlines.
