1996. For more bibliography and discussion, see the bibliographic
essays at Cartledge 2003: 327–47 and Worthington 2004: 320–332.

5. There is no need to rehearse the details of these two kings’ reigns
or to give copious references to all points in this essay: for these, any of
the modern books cited in notes 2 and 3 (which quote further bibliography)

6. On the cultural and political signifi cance of Alexander for Rome,
how he may have been shaped by Roman political and cultural life, and
