The death of Alexander the Great marks the start of the later period of Greek history that scholars call Hellenistic Times. The period extends from 323 to the founding of the Roman Empire in 30 B.C.
The death of Alexander set off a civil war among his Macedonian generals to see who would rule after him. In the war, his great empire broke up into several pieces each ruled by one of his generals. - Source: Amazon
