Antigonid Dynasty

Antigonid Dynasty appears on the map from 291 BCE to 278 BCE. At its greatest recorded extent, in 291 BCE, it covered about 127,922 km².

One of the realms of Kingdom of Macedon and Empire of Alexander. Macedon was a kingdom in northern Greece that emerged in the 7th century BCE (later legend dated its founding to about 808 BCE); it was seen by many southern Greeks as half-barbarian. Philip II transformed it after 359 BCE, creating a professional army built around the long-speared phalanx and heavy cavalry, and in 338 BCE he defeated Athens and Thebes, making Macedon master of Greece.
