Philip (Greek: Φίλιππος, flourished 4th century BC) was a Greek nobleman who was a Macedonian Thessalian and his father’s first youngest brother (one of Philip’s paternal uncles) was Lysimachus one of the Diadochi of Alexander the Great.
Philip was a son born to Alcimachus of Apollonia by unnamed Greek woman and had a brother also called Alcimachus. His known grandparent was his paternal grandfather Agathocles. Philip’s father served as an official, and as an active diplomat and administrator in the latter reign of King Philip II of Macedon who reigned 359 BC–336 BC and the first years of his son, King Alexander the Great reigned 336 BC–323 BC. Philip was named in honor of his paternal late uncle Philip, a soldier who died in the service of Alexander the Great.
Philip like his brother, appears to have been born and raised in Apollonia and is known from surviving inscriptional evidence. In a surviving inscription he is mentioned as Philip son of Alcimachus and little is known on him.
Philip (in Greek Φιλιππoς; died 318 BC) was satrap of Sogdiana, to which government he was first appointed by Alexander the Great himself in 327 BC. He retained his post, as did most of the satraps of the more remote provinces, in the arrangements which followed the death of the king (323 BC); but in the subsequent partition at Triparadisus, 321 BC, he was assigned the government of Parthia instead. Here he remained until 318 BC, when Peithon, who was then seeking to establish his power over all the provinces of the East, made himself master of Parthia, and put Philip to death.

Philip (in Greek Φιλιππoς; died 306 BC), son of Antigonus, king of Asia, was sent by his father in 310 BC, at the head of an army, to oppose the revolt of his general Phoenix, and to recover possession of the towns on the Hellespont held by the latter. He died in 306 BC, just as Antigonus was setting out for his expedition against Egypt.

Previously we have made an animated historical documentary on the battle of Nisibis http://bit.ly/30vmmwO between the Roman and the Parthian empires. But that battle was far from first - two empires started fighting immediately after their borders touched and that war led to the iconic battle of Carrhae in 53 BC, during which the Romans of the triumvir Marcus Crassus fought against the Parthians of Surena.

He was surnamed in Greek Macrocheir (“Longhand”) and in Latin Longimanus. A younger son of Xerxes I and Amestris, he was raised to the throne by the commander of the guard, Artabanus, who had murdered Xerxes. A few months later, Artaxerxes slew Artabanus in a hand-to-hand fight. His reign, though generally peaceful, was disturbed by several insurrections, the first of which was the revolt of his brother the satrap of Bactria. Encyclopedia Britannica List of en...
The Achaemenid Persians took Syria from Babylonia as part of their hegemony of Southwest Asia in 539 BC. The Persians, having spent four centuries under Assyrian rule, retained Imperial Aramaic as the language of the Achaemenid Empire (539 BC- 33O BC), and also the Assyrian name of the satrapy of Aram/Syria Eber-Nari. Syria was conquered by the Greek Macedonian Empire, ruled by Alexander the Great circa 330 BC, and consequently became Coele-Syria province of the Greek Seleucid Empire (323 BC – 64 BC). It was the Greeks who introduced the name "Syria" to the region. Originally an Indo-European corruption of "Assyria" in northern Mesopotamia, the Greeks used this term not only to describe Assyria itself but the lands to the west which had for centuries been under Assyrian dominion. Thus in...
