Alexander the Great and so much more. The Macedonian Empire was the largest empire in the world at its height, thanks to Alexander's territorial ambitions and honoring his father's desire to connect Gibraltar to Punjab. This empire has made an immensely significant splash into today's society through trade networks, a centralized system of government, advances in science and literature, and so much more. The largest piece of the Macedonian legacy is the city of Alexandria, Egypt, showcasing the blend of cultures, architectures, and designs that made this empire strong. Thank you to content writer Tania Valdés for deepening our knowledge of this important empire.
