Axum's growth during the second and third …

Years: 325 - 325

Axum's growth during the second and third centuries as a trading empire had increasingly impinged on the power of the Kushite Kingdom of Meroë, the fall of which is brought about in the fourth century by an Axumite invasion, probably under Ella-Amida, whose reign ends with his death between about 320 and 325.

Tradition states that 'Ezana succeeded his father Ella Amida (Ousanas) while still a child and his mother, Sofya served as regent.
