Historical background

KINGDOM OF MACEDONIA - ALEXANDER IV

(323 - 310/309 BC)

Alexandre is the son of Alexandre III and Roxane. On the death of his father, the Macedonian nobles preferred his uncle, half-brother of Alexander, Philippe Arrhidée, however simple-minded. After the assassination of the latter, the son of Alexandre and his mother will be victims of the appetites of the epigones who want to maintain the fiction of the Empire while wanting to seize the reality of power. Refugees with Cassandre, Roxane and Alexandre IV were finally assassinated in 310-309 BC..
