Post-Alexander Collaborative Timeline

I previously made a collaborative alternate timeline starting with the Punic Wars.

Basically, we all add to the same timeline/story. Maps and pictures are completely optional, and you don't have to continue from the same map, but if you can continue from the previous map, that's just fine.

Rules:
- At least 3 sentences in a contribution, however if it is only 3 sentences, then it must be a very decisive/important event. No maximum limit to the length.
- Be sensible, no ASB stuff but you can be creative. If people think something is ASB, it may be removed or modified
- Consider the butterfly effect.
- Claim before you post your contribution. No one wants to discard their stuff because multiple people posted at once
- You can cover a range of time from a single day/battle/event described in intricate detail, or twenty years as a summary.
- You can cover anything from one nation, to the whole world.



First Post/Contribution (OTL)


On June 10, 323 BC, 431 AUC, Alexander the Great, ten days after being taken ill after a prolongued banquet and drinking bout. He may have been poisoned, or infected with malaria, typhoid fever, west nile virus, or some other disease; the exact cause of his death is not known.

One month later (actually, there doesn't seem to be any information about when exactly within the year of 323 BC it happened), Alexander's generals decide to divide the territories of his empire. Someone else decide how the Partition of Babylon goes. Differently?

323 -321 BC

By July 10, 323 BC Alexander's generals, the Diadochi, had decided that to keep peace between themselves would be their greatest priority. After the very suspicious deaths of Seleucus, the pregnant Roxane and Alexander (OTL Alexander IV) as well as much back-stabbing during the negotiations of the last month it was clear the Empire could not be held together. But if it was to be divided in body, it was to be united in spirit. Each of the four parts of the Empire would be held accountable for the spread and protection of the Hellan Civilization. Diadochi in one region would cooperate with the others in their defined region, but leave all others alone.


  • The South, capital Alexandria led by Ptolemaios and Antipater
  • The West, capitals Ephesos and Pella led by Philip, Lysimachus and Antigonus
  • The Center, capital Babylon led by Leonnatus and Eumenes
  • The East, capital Ekbatana led by Perdiccas.

Plans are made for further conquest to reach the Ocean surrounding all the world. Especially in the West real plans and preparations are made for campains directed, obviously, westward.

In India however Chandragupta the Great have conquered not only the Nanda Empire (323 BC) but also invade the Eastern satrapies (321 BC), Perdiccas attempts to fight back, but fails spectacularly at the Khyber pass.

Chandragupta gives command to his son Bindusara to prepare for conquest of southern India, while he himself proclaim his intention to march for Babylon and unite his Indian Empire with the Mediterranean Empire of the Macedonians...

I see a dark brown shape covering most of north west africa (from mauretania to cyrenaica), spain, west sicilia, sardinia and latium (rome territory).

According to the date, most of spain, cyrenaica, mauritania, numidia and latium should not be.

Rome is dark red. The colors are sort of similar.

According to both the UCS map for 323 BC, a wikipedia map, and another wikipedia map that apparently copied from a historical atlas, Carthage owned all of those places. (except Latium of course, but they don't have that here.)
