This list represents the armies of all the Asian-based successors to Alexander the Great after the murder of the regent Perdikkas in 321 BC except for Ptolemy (in Egypt) and Seleukos (in Persia). The most important of these were Antigonos Monophthalmos “One Eye”, his son Demetrios Poliorketes “the Besieger” and Antigonos’ great enemy Eumenes. Others’ forces ended joining one of the major players’ armies, the last to retain any independence being Peithon. Xystophoroi were lancers equivalent to Alexander’s companions, but now including Persians; and the heavy cavalry and light horse were of assorted Asiatic types. Since the successors mainly fought each other, to establish credibility the essential backbone of each army was a pike phalanx. This was officered by Macedonians, but those in its ranks were mostly new recruits and not Alexander’s veterans. Since the supply of genuine Macedonians was limited in the east, they had to be supplemented with retrained Greek hoplites and peltasts (leading to the disappearance of these in their original roles) and later by Asiatic “pantodapoi”. Light troops were all barbarians or Asiatics. References: Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars D. Head, The Wars of Alexander’s Successors Vols 1 & 2 B. Bennett & M.
