New Evidence for Alexander the Great’s Campaign.

Between 336-323 BCE, Alexander the Great’s campaign united the world between the Aeagean Sea and the Indus River. The primary sources for this spectacular accomplishment are Greek literary sources written between the time of Augustus and Trajan. But in recent years, new evidence from the Eastern perspective has emerged—Aramaic documents, cuneiform texts, and coins, complementing the Western sources. A brief review of the campaign and this new evidence will be discussed.
