Antigonids

The Antigonids were a dynasty that ruled Macedonia, a region in northern Greece, after the death of Alexander the Great around 323 BCE. They were descendants of Alexander’s general Antigonus I Monophthalmus. The Antigonids focused on consolidating power in Macedonia and expanding influence over Greek city-states. Their rule lasted until the early 2nd century BCE, when they were gradually replaced by the Roman Republic. They played a significant role in the Hellenistic period, promoting Greek culture, managing military conflicts, and defending their territory against rival kingdoms.
