The book of Herman Bengtson is, in fact, the history of the Hellenistic world presented in the faces, covering all the time of its existence (IV - I century BC), from the commanders of Alexander the Great, who divided the empire he created, to the last Ptolemy dynasty in the dynasty Egyptian Queen Cleopatra VII. One exciting biography flows into another, and a picture of a continuous movement arises before us, causing kaleidoscopic changes in Greece, Asia Minor and the Eastern Mediterranean. But all this happens only until Rome, who finally defeated Carthage and has accumulated enough strength, does not begin to dictate his will to the Hellenistic kings. He subordinates one territory after another with the power of his legions, and now the empires of Seleucids and Ptolemes are already crumbling and become Roman provinces of Macedonia, Pergamum, Bethinia, Crete and Cyrenaica, Cilicia and Cyprus, Syria and Egypt
