The Hellenistic age

The Hellenistic Age was a time of opportunity and adventure, when a Celt from the lower Danube could serve in the mercenary army of a Macedonian king ruling in Egypt. Greek city-states came together under the earliest federal governments known to history, while scientists of Ptolemaic Alexandria measured the circumference of the earth, and pioneering Greek argonauts explored the Atlantic coast of Africa.
