Abstract

The essay is conceived as the first part of a series of publications dealing with the regional administration of Alexander the Great’s Empire at the satrapal level, as well as the relationships between him and the dependent territories in Asia. Consideration of this issue seems very useful due to insufficient attention to it from modern scholars. The present work focuses on the satrapies of Asia Minor, while the further ones will provide an overview of all other provincies of Alexander’s Empire and the Asian regions dependent on him; finally, we plan to give a consolidated article on the issue as a whole.

Keywords
