Antigonid dynasty
Post-Alexander Greek rulers
The Antigonid dynasty ruled Macedonia from the late 4th century BCE until Roman conquest in 168 BCE.
Founded by Antigonus I, one of Alexander the Great's generals, the dynasty emerged from the wars among Alexander's successors.
The Antigonids controlled Macedonia and periodically dominated Greek affairs until their defeat at the Battle of Pydna.
