Alexander's Empire was created in the course of a few years. Alexander was a good soldier, but a poor administrator - or rather, he never allowed himself the time and effort to set up a solid administrative structure in the countries he conquered and never positioned his home country Macedonia as the central power within his Empire. Nor did he properly garrison the countries that he conquered or made sure that the local rulers would remain loyal to him, with the result that even in the few years of his reign he had to deal with one insurgence after the other.

The Roman Empire on the other hand was built up over centuries, administrative structures were carefully created, Roman armies were garrisoned within all the key conquered countries, there was a central administration in Rome and a body of central laws next to the local laws and customs, loyalty was created in treaties, trade agreements and by the careful handing out of Roman citizenship. And until the period of the Emperors, the quality of administration never hinged on the qualities of one single person.

By conquering the Persian Empire, Alexander the Great facilitated the spread of Macedonian influence across a vast territory, effectively uniting regions from Greece to India under his rule.

His campaigns not only spread Hellenistic culture but also established trade routes and administrative practices that would benefit later empires.
