Antigonus I

Antigonus I Monophthalmus (“the one-eyed,” lived 382—301 BC, reigned 306—301 BC) was a former general and successor of Alexander the Great. After Alexander’s death, his generals, collectively called the Diadochi, divided up the lands they had conquered, with Antigonus taking control of Macedonia. He founded the Antigonid Dynasty, which ruled Macedonia until it was conquered by the Roman Republic in 168 BC.
