Alexander the Great was undefeated in battle and is considered to be one of history's most successful military commanders.

In 336 BCE Alexander died when he was only thirty two. His military campaigns had swept across Ancient Greece, through Asia Minor, Arabia, Persia, Egypt and North Africa to North West India, forging one of the largest empires in recorded history.
