The three centuries which followed the conquests of Alexander are perhaps the most thrilling of all periods of ancient history. A Celt from the lower Danube could serve in the mercenary army of a Macedonian king ruling in Egypt, and a Greek philosopher from Cyprus could compare the religions of the Brahmins and the Jews on the basis of first-hand knowledge of both. This was an age of cultural globalization: in the third century BC, a single language carried you from the Rhone to the Indus.
The scientists of Ptolemaic Alexandria measured the circumference of the earth, while pioneering Greek argonauts explored the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic coast of Africa.Drawing on inscriptions, papyri, Kings from Sicily to Tajikistan struggled to meet the challenges of ruling multi-ethnic states, and Greek city-states came together under the earliest federal governments known to history.
