The Hellenistic kingdoms were primarily conquered by the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire. Key figures in this process included generals like Pompey, who annexed the Kingdom of Judea and the Seleucid territories, and Augustus, who solidified Roman control over the region. The conquests were part of Rome's broader expansion, which aimed to consolidate power and influence in the Mediterranean and beyond. The fall of these kingdoms marked the transition from Hellenistic to Roman dominance.

Alexander the Great took over the Persian Empire. After his early death his generals divided the empire into kingdoms of their own. We today call them the Hellenistic kingdoms (= like Greek).

why are all three kingdoms hellenistic
Alexander died unexpectedly without an obvious heir. With no clear direction, his generals fought for power. Eventually, three distinct Hellenistic kingdoms emerged: Macedonia (which included Greece), Syria, and Egypt. Although Hellenistic culture flourished in all three kingdoms-in particular, Alexandria in Egypt became a great center of culture and learning-all three kingdoms fell to the growing power of Rome between 60 and 30 BC.

The kingdoms were called Hellenistic because their culture was Greek-like after Alexander the Great fused his Hellenic culture with the lands he conquered. Hellene was the Greek name for things Greek after the legendary founder Helen. Greek is a word used by Romans. Greeks even today call themselves Hellenes.
