Mors Alexandri Magni

Mors Alexandri Magni Babylone die 11 Iunii 323 obita est, si calendaria antiqua recte convertuntur. Diem 28 Daesii dederunt Ephemerides Alexandri Magni, diem ultimum Daesii Aristobulus in libro De rebus Alexandri Magni, quos fontes ambo a Plutarcho (Vita Alexandri 75.6, 76.9) citantur. Diem 4 Pharmuthi dat historia fabulosa Alexandri Magni (Pseudo-Callisthenes 35.4). Rex post convivium novissimum (nisi iam antea) undecim fere dies aegrotabat, deinde mortuus est.
