The Macedonian State

A comprehensive history, in one volume, of Macedonia, the home of Philip II and Alexander the Great. From 338 BC, Macedonia ruled the whole of Greece, and it was the Macedonian kings, whose conquests from the Punjab to Afghanistan, who created the Hellenistic world. This book traces the history of the Macedonian state in action from early times right down to 167 BC, and analyses its institutions in Europe, Asia, and Egypt. These institutions have had a profound influence on subsequent history, and the book throws much new light on them with the help of fresh epigraphic and archaeological evidence.
