The king of the kings
It is not known how long it took for Darius the Great to have the Royal Road rebuilt. Considering that it was 2699 km (1667 miles) long and that it was of such good quality that it was still used by the Romans, this project must have taken years.
In the fifth century BCE, the Persian king Darius I built the Royal Road to connect his massive empire.
The Persian Royal Road began in the city of Susa, which was the capital of the Persian Empire at the time.
Royal Alexander was born in 1965.
Alexander the great identified culturally and ethnically as Greek whose ancestors migrated from Argos to the northern Greek peninsula hence the name of their royal house, the Argeads.

Royal Alexander Brink died in 1984.
Royal Alexander Brink was born in 1897.
He burnt Persepolis, but although he claimed it as a reprisal (it had happened in Athens 150 years earlier(!) in 480 BCE when the Persians destroyed the gods in reprisal for Athens destroying their gods in the Persian provincial capital of Sardis), he was really destroying the capital of the Persian Empire which he was taking over, and wanted to establish a new capital of his own at Babylon, and not leave a Persian rallying point.
Alexander the Great had multiple wives, but his most famous wife was Roxana. It is not specifically recorded what she wore, but as a member of the Macedonian royal family, she likely wore luxurious and elegant clothing befitting her status.
Greek Culture had been spread by Alexander, and even the Persian Empire was reformed more greek. Egypt's city of Alexandria, built by Alexander and in the greek style, became the seat of royal power of Egypt before Cleopatra's death.
