Following Alexander's death in Babylon in 323 BC, a succession
crisis erupted among his generals. Initially, Perdiccas ruled the
empire as regent for Alexander's half-brother Arrhidaeus, who
became Philip III of Macedon, and then as regent for both Philip
III and Alexander's infant son Alexander IV of Macedon, who had
not been born at the time of his father's death. Perdiccas
appointed Ptolemy, one of Alexander's closest companions, to
be satrap of Egypt. Ptolemy ruled Egypt from 323 BC, nominally
in the name of the joint kings Philip III and Alexander IV.
However, as Alexander the Great's empire disintegrated,
Ptolemy soon established himself as ruler in his own right.
Ptolemy successfully defended Egypt against an invasion by
Perdiccas in 321 BC, and consolidated his position in Egypt and
the surrounding areas during the Wars of the Diadochi (322 BC-
301 BC). In 305 BC, Ptolemy took the title of King. As Ptolemy I
Soter ("Saviour"), he founded the Ptolemaic dynasty that was to
rule Egypt for nearly 300 years.
