Chronology follows the dated synthesis in Livius’ Chronology of the Diadochi, cross-checked against the Metropolitan Museum’s Hellenistic overview and World History Encyclopedia’s map of the successor kingdoms. City coordinates and identifications are cross-checked against the Pleiades ancient-world gazetteer. Basemap geometry: world-atlas / Natural Earth. Ancient control boundaries and routes are approximate editorial reconstructions; several dates and troop movements remain disputed in the surviving sources.
