SETTLEMENTS IN MESOPOTAMIA AND IRAN ATTRIBUTED TO ALEXANDER
The settlements in Mesopotamia and Iran listed below have been variously attributed to Alexander, in antiquity, in the Alexander Romance and its various recensions and derivatives, in other Byzantine or medieval sources, in the Perso-Arabic tradition, or by modern scholars. Only one—ALEXANDREIA/ANTIOCH/Spasinou Charax—can definitely be attributed to the Macedonian king. The latter settlement is also the only one that is mentioned by at least one of the Alexander historians. Consult the appropriate entries for discussion and references.
