We are continuing our series on the Wars of the Diadochi with the animated historical documentary on the Siege of Rhodes of 305-304 BC, which happened during the Fourth War between the Successors of Alexander the Great. Son of Antigonus - Demetrius took Salamis from Ptolemy in 306 BC, and continued ramping up the naval dominance in the Mediterranean. Meanwhile, Seleucus in Iran, Cassander in Greece, Lysander in Thrace and Ptolemy in Egypt are strengthening their position, so the final accord in the Wars of the Diadochi is fast approaching: Ipsus will decide it all.
