These men grew up together and were childhood companions or friends. Hell, at least three of the diadochi were school mates of Alexander under Aristotle.

Cassander even went as far to kill Alexander’s teenage son, wife, and mother.</p><p>Such is the ambition of man</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1111533[/ATTACH]</p><p>Seleucus I Nikator AR Stater</p><p>Babylon mint</p><p>311-281 BCE</p><p>15.89 grams[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
