The impact of Alexander's death on the Greek and Roman world

Alexander the Great, the king of Macedon, was a significant strategist with successful battles. He became king at the age of 20 years and he fought for 12 years. When he died, the successors of his vast empire wanted to follow his tactics. The early death of Alexander was, in fact, to give the hidden discontents, which could lead to local compromises, a completely different dimension. Alexander’s body buried for a few years in Memphis, while later carrying it somewhere near Alexandria. Those who honored Alexander as no one else was the Romans. The Roman emperors pursued his glory and his fame, so they imitated his attitude and his plans. The identification of the tomb of Alexander has some problems and it is worthwhile for further research and study.
