Quote:Why do you post it on the tenth of June? He died on the eleventh! :wink:Thanks Jona,
The cuneiform evidence is discussed by Leo Depuydt, 'The Time of Death of Alexander the Great: 11 June 323 BC, ca. 4:00-5:00 PM' in: Die Welt des Orients 28 (1997) 117-135
Two links that may have some interest:

[url:3bmfz17e]http://www.livius.org/aj-al/alexander/alexander_z6.html[/url] (identification of the omen of Alexander's death)
I know you list it as the 11th, others take it as the the 10th......I thought it better to post on the earliest date..... :wink:
regards

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
