Peucesta, tra lealismo macedone e modello persiano

Abstract

The paper aims to provide an overview of the career and figure of Peucestas, close friend of Alexander the Great and satrap of Persis from 326/5 until the final struggle against Antigonus the One-Eyed. Special attention is devoted to the ceremony of Persepolis (317 or 316 BCE) in the more general context of Persian patterns and Greco-Macedonian rituals and ceremonies.
