Years: 323BCE - 323BCE
Busy with plans to improve the irrigation of the Euphrates and to settle the coast of the Persian Gulf, Alexander is suddenly taken ill in Babylon after a prolonged banquet and drinking bout.
Ten days later, in the early evening of June 13, 323 BCE, the thirty-three-year-old conqueror dies in Nebuchadrezzar's palace of a fever—or possibly of poisoned wine.
Having reigned for twelve years and eight months, he leaves no pure Macedonian heirs, no designated successors, and his vision of fusing Greek and Middle Eastern peoples unrealized.
