Ancient Macedonia — Political Institutions | by Christos Antoniadis | Medium

Macedonia was a Greek kingdom situated in the northern periphery of the Greek world. Its territory largely corresponds with the modern Greek province of Macedonia. The Kingdom was founded by the Argead dynasty (700–310 BC). A peripheral power before the fourth century, Macedonia rose to prominence under the leadership of Philip II ( 359–336 BC) and came to dominate the Greek world. Alexander the Great (336–323 BC) led the Macedonian army to Asia and conquered the Persian Empire, stretching his kingdom as far east as India. After death of Alexander and the fall of the Argead dynasty in the aftermath of the Wars of the Successors, Macedonia came under the rule of the Antigonid dynasty. It clashed with Rome in a series of wars, the final of which took place in 150–148 BC and resulted in the dismantlement of the kingdom. This post will not concern itself with the above mentioned political and military developments. It shall instead focus on the political institutions of the Macedonian king
