After Alexander the great's death in 323 BCE, his wife Roxana and their infant son, Alexander IV, faced significant danger due to the power struggles among his generals. Roxana and Alexander IV were initially placed under the protection of Alexander's half-brother, Philip III Arrhidaeus, but as the Wars of the Diadochi ensued, both were eventually captured. Roxana was reportedly killed around 310 BCE on the orders of Cassander, a rival general, and her son was also murdered shortly thereafter, eliminating the last legitimate heirs of Alexander's dynasty.
