In Chapter 3 there were many diagrams, mostly diagrams of maps that showed the Persian Empire, Classical Greece, and Alexander's Empire and Succesor States, etc. I found the map on Alexander's Empire and Successor States was interesting but I found the diagram on page 116 of Alexander the Great more interestin because it was an actual mosaic of Alexander the Great. It was Alexander on the back of a horse and in the caption of the diagram it said Alexander came from the city of Pompeii. I thought it was really interesting though because I would not have thought it depicted the Battle of Issus which was in 333 B.C.E. From readings, and obviously the caption, in the Battle of Issus the Greeks defeated the Persian Army but I always figured because the Greek army was more grand. What I did learn was that it was lead by Emperor Darius III and Alexander the Great was his successor.
