Summary of the Eastern Campaigns

It is not my purpose in this brief chapter to do more than indicate, on the basis of Arrian’s narrative of Alexander’s campaigns, where Alexander is recorded as having founded major settlements, or actual cities, with a brief note also of the circumstances in which this occurred. This introduction will, it is hoped, help the reader to follow the problems that arise in identifying the foundations there after.
