Events
By place
Babylonia
- Seleucus reestablishes himself as satrap of Babylonia and asserts control over Media and Susiana (Elam).
Asia Minor/Syria
- Ptolemy tries occupy Syria. However, Demetrius Poliorcetes wins a battle over Ptolemy’s forces and Antigonus enters Syria in force. So, after only a few months, Ptolemy evacuates his forces from Syria.
- In view of the threat by Seleucus to his control of the East, Antigonus decides to make peace with all of his adversaries, except Seleucus who now holds Babylon. All of the diadochi confirm the existing boundaries and the freedom of the Greek cities. Ptolemy and Lysimachus are confirmed as satraps of Egypt and Thrace, respectively, and Antigonus and Cassander are confirmed as commanders of the army in Asia and Europe. Antigonus, no longer regent but now titled the strategos (officer in charge) of the whole of Asia, rules in Syria from the Hellespont to the Euphrates, including Asia Minor.
- It is agreed by all parties that the young king Alexander IV of Macedon, son of Alexander the Great, will become king of the whole empire when he comes of age in six years’ time.
- The peace agreement between the diadochi is soon violated. On the pretext that garrisons had been placed in some of the free Greek cities by Antigonus, Ptolemy and Cassander renew hostilities against him.
Sicily
- The Carthaginian general Hamilcar crosses the Mediterranean with an army and wins Battle of Himera against the tyrant of Syracuse, Agathocles’ forces. Agathocles is then besieged in Syracuse.
