<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 7770730, member: 118780&quot;]In terms of the age of Kassander, Ptolemy I Soter didn&#039;t seem so bad of a guy. He had a completely awful son in Ptolemy Keraunos, but Ptolemy II Philadelphos wasn&#039;t so bad, so maybe it was the mother. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Of all the diadochi, he seemed to have been the smartest in eschewing empire and instead choosing an easily defendable position. He had cordial relations with next door Seleukos I Nikator (though their sons would later squabble), he founded the Library of Alexandria, and he began construction of the Pharos.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve posted this Ptolemy coin several times already, but I&#039;m going to do it again because it&#039;s one of my favorites. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]1332595[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1332596[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
