The Hellenistic Age - AHIS341
Alexander the Great's extraordinary conquests (towards the end of the fourth century BCE) opened up vast areas of the ancient Near East to Greek influences. This unit deals with the political and cultural history of the eastern Mediterranean and the Near East, beginning with the death of Alexander. It follows the fortunes of his successors in the third and second centuries BCE, the developments brought on for both Greeks and those they conquered, the "Hellenisation" of native peoples, and reactions to cultural change, down to the end of the first century BCE, under the Roman Empire.
