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 three Hellenistic kingdoms—the Seleucid Empire, the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, and the Antigonid Kingdom of Macedon—eventually fell into decline due to internal strife, external pressures, and the rise of Rome. The Seleucid Empire fragmented into smaller states, while the Ptolemaic Kingdom was weakened by succession crises and Roman intervention. The Antigonid Kingdom faced similar challenges and was ultimately conquered by the Romans in 168 BCE.
