Romans Took Centuries, Alexander Did It in a Decade

Описание: the Roman Empire at its peak in 117 AD under Emperor Trajan, and the Macedonian Empire forged by Alexander the Great in just over a decade.

• The Roman Empire: Took nearly 800 years from its founding in 753 BC to reach its maximum territorial extent under Trajan. It stretched across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, becoming one of the most enduring empires in history.

• Alexander the Great’s Empire: In contrast, Alexander began his campaign in 334 BC and, by 323 BC, had conquered territory from Greece to northwestern India, defeating the Persian Empire and uniting much of the known world under his rule — all in only 11 years.
This side-by-side highlights not only the difference in speed but also in the style of expansion: Rome’s slow, steady, and methodical conquests versus Alexander’s lightning-fast military campaigns.
