Demetrius’ Flight
View through CrossRef
This chapter sheds much light on the outcome of the battle of Ipsus in 301 BC, which proved to have long-lasting repercussions for Demetrius Poliorcetes. The distribution of the spoils following the battle had a massive impact on Hellenistic politics and the boundaries of the Successor kingdoms, but Demetrius’ position was not as hopeless as has previously been argued. Some of these distributions proved to be in name only, as Demetrius was quick to act and preserve as much of his kingdom as possible, and rule it as a thalassocracy (maritime realm). The numismatic material provides some very important insight into these years, and is discussed in detail.

Description:
This chapter sheds much light on the outcome of the battle of Ipsus in 301 BC, which proved to have long-lasting repercussions for Demetrius Poliorcetes.
The distribution of the spoils following the battle had a massive impact on Hellenistic politics and the boundaries of the Successor kingdoms, but Demetrius’ position was not as hopeless as has previously been argued.
Some of these distributions proved to be in name only, as Demetrius was quick to act and preserve as much of his kingdom as possible, and rule it as a thalassocracy (maritime realm).
The numismatic material provides some very important insight into these years, and is discussed in detail.
