SOME HISTORY;GENERAL PERDICCASPerdiccas (Greek: Perdikkas died 321/320 BC) was one of Alexander the Great's generals. After Alexanders death in 323 BC he became regent of all of Alexanders empire.Biography:Arrian tells us he was born of Orontes, a descendant of the independant princes of the Macedonian provence of Orestis. As the commander of a battalon of heavy phalanx infantry, Perdiccas distinguished himself during the conquest of Thebes (335 BC), where he was severey wounded. Subsequently he held an important command in the indian campaigns of Alexander. When Hephaestion unexpectedly died in 324 BC, he was appointed his successor as commander of the Companion cavalry andchiliarch, (vizier). Also in 324 BC, at the nuptials celebrated at Susa, Perdiccas married the daughter of the satrap of Media, a Persian named Atropates.In the Parthition of Babylon made after Alexanders death (323 BC) Alexanders generals agreed that philip III of Macedon, an epileptic son of Alexanders father Philip II of Macedon, and the unborn child of Alexanders wife Roxana should be recognized as joint kings, Perdiccas was appointed guardian and regent of the empire. He soon showed himself intolerant of any rivals, and acting in the name of the two kings (Roxana gave birth to a son, Alexander), sought to hold the empire together under his own hand, He had Meleager, the infantry commander, arrested and murdered.In 322 BC, he broke off his engagement with Nicaea, daughter of Anipater, because Olympias offered him the hand of Cleopatra, a sister of Aexander the great.The intent to strengthen his hold on the the empire.(There is much more to the history of Perdiccas i will include with your coin, maps and coa)
