Does anyone have any good books, documentaries, etc. About Pyrrhus of Epirus or the Hellenic world in General during that era?

Also who should have reunited the Alexandrian Empire between the successor kingdoms in your opinion?

I listened to this the other day, was alright.

>Epirus
I meant Pyrrhus

>Sargon
ehh I'll give him the benefit of the doubt he at least seems to enjoy history
A book on Epirus in general wouldn't hurt either desu

Seleucus was just Egypt short of reuniting the Empire before his death.

yep
I more meant who would you support if you had to at the time?

...

Seleucus because best faction in Rome tw

...

Alexander IV ;_;

More realistically, Antigonus or Selecus

This. They had every broken unit in the game and dat corner starting position.

...

Peter Green has a big ass book that is titled
From Alexander to Actium, IIRC.
Pretty complete treatment of the era.

Thanks m8

The Histories - Polybius

>using pilum as a spear

It's attested at Alesia.

I don't know about who "should have won", but Ptolemaic Egypt was quite interesting.

Yep. Not ideal because it'd be only worth a stab or two before bending, but it's still a spear at the end of the day. It's long and pointy and will stab just fine.

...

Aren't those carthaginian hoplites led by a spartan mercenary commander?

Is it? have you seen the sauce?

>Seleucus was just Egypt short of reuniting the Empire before his death.
and then ptolemy thunder murdered him just like seleucus had once murdered perdiccas while he also tried to unify the kingdom

>who should have reunited the Alexandrian Empire
honestly nobody could
there were two opposing forces during the diadochi wars, the unifing force and the topicism force
perdiccas, the pro-king faction and antigonus failed
the smartest amongst alexanders generals was ptolemy that realised were the times were heading and created the most stabile hellenistic kingdom
