Portada de Paul J. Kosmin: Land of the Elephant Kings (ePUB)

Taking in the bulk of Alexander the Great’s Asian conquests, the Seleucid Empire encompassed remarkable ethnic, religious, and linguistic diversity; yet it did not include Macedonia, the dynasty’s ancestral homeland. Paul Kosmin shows how rulers over lands to which they had no historic claim transformed the territory into a coherent space.
