Contents New royal traditions and the consolidation of power -- Gods and mortals : structures of divine kingship -- Institutional symmetry : joint kingship and indivisible basileia -- Royal death and ideological legacy.
Abstract "Examining the period of political consolidation after Alexander the Great's death, John Holton reconstructs how the successors used new frameworks of royal ideology to create long-term kingships. There is a particular focus on the deeper manoeuvres within the inter-generational impact raging from the influence of religion and family relations, to succession-planning and royal funerals"-- Provided by publisher.
