"With meticulous and
wide-ranging scholarship, Professor Billows gives this vigorous, huge, and
hugely ambitious figure his just deserts. A well-paced narrative of
Antigonos's career, culminating in his disastrous bid for empire at Ipsus (301
B.C.), is followed by masterly analyses of his administrative, economic, and
cultural policies. The result fills, with distinction, a notable gap in both
Hellenistic history and biography."--Peter Green, author of Alexander to
Actium: The Historical Evolution of the Hellenistic Age
