Summary

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Hellenistic age, then pay attention...

The Hellenistic age brought a great deal of change in the ancient world. However, the era was destined to end in 31 BCE with the Battle of Actium. Octavian’s Roman forces defeated Mark Antony and Cleopatra’s Ptolemaic fleet, thus securing the rise of the Roman Empire. 

While the Hellenistic age lasted only for a brief period in humanity’s rich history, its influence on culture, science, and philosophy has resonated with the world ever since.

Very well written.

While by no means a complete history of the Hellenistic Age, it presents some new points of interest in some areas that are not commonly mentioned in books dedicated to period, and through this process, carries a good idea of the spirit of the age.
