Best Answer

No Roman emperor wanted to conquer the lands that Alexander the Great had conquered. The Roman conquests in areas which Alexander had conquered occurred during the period of the Roman Republic, before the period of rule by emperors and before there were Roman emperors. These various conquests, which occurred at separate times, had nothing to do with a desire to conquer Alexander's former territories.

None, the Roman Empire did not yet exist when Alexander lived.

When Alexander died in 323 BC internal rivalries within his empire caused it to splinter into four parts (which were all eventually conquered by the Roman Empire, which was founded in 27 BC by Augustus Caesar the adopted son of Julius Caesar):

  1. The Antigonid dynasty in Macedon and central Greece.
  2. The Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt.
  3. The Seleucid dynasty in Syria and Mesopotamia.
  4. The Attalid dynasty in Anatolia.

Who conquered the Persian Empire and most of the world?

Alexander the Great conquered the Persian Empire, but he did not conquer 'most of the world' - he did not get near east Asia, he did not conquer Europe, he did not conquer most of Africa, he had never even heard of North and South America or the Pacific. Addition: The typical expression is that Alexander the Great conquered "most of the known world" meaning that the majority of the areas that he did not conquer were not civilized at that time. Further: Alexander wanted to take India, but his army refused, and is recorded to have planned on moving through Europe, with Carthage and north Africa, Italy, Sicily and Spain as targets. Even he did not think that he had conquered 'most of the known world'.
