Archaeologist and historian Richard Miles explores the triumphs and legacy of Alexander the Great, the conqueror who rose from the kingdom of Macedon and went on to control an empire that stretched from Egypt in the West to Afghanistan in the East. The presenter also focuses on those who succeeded him after he died in Babylon, and how they tried to maintain the empire by cunning rather than by the sword
