Upon Harpalus return to favor, Coeranus was appointed financial officer for Phoenicia , Cilicia , and Coele Syria . Arrian 3.12.4 calls the commander of the allied cavalry Coeranus.

Alexander took the sons of Thracian kings with him in order to ensure the loyalty of their fathers at home. Sitalces was one of those officers who were left behind in Medes Media under the command of Parmenion , where he received, through the agency of Polydamas of Macedon Polydamas , royal orders to kill the old general. In this province he remained until after the return of Alexander from India, when he prepared, together with Cleander of Macedon Cleander and Heracon , to meet the king in Carmania , 326 BC . Hither he was followed by many persons from Media, who accused him of numerous acts of rapine, extortion, and cruelty, and on these charges he was put to death by order of Alexander.

unreferenced date January 2011 Stateira I died circa 332 BC was the wife of Darius III of Persia of the Achaemenid dynasty . She was known as the most beautiful woman on Earth and, as was the custom for royal Persian women, accompanied her husband while he went to war. It was because of this that she was captured by Alexander the Great after the Battle of Issus , in 333 BC at Issus town Issus . Her husband abandoned his entire family at the site as he fled from Alexander, including his mother, Sisygambis , and his daughters Stateira II and Drypteis . Alexander is reported to have treated them with great respect. Stateira I died giving birth around 332 BC. Some sources suggest the father of the child might not have been Darius, but Alexander perhaps. Since Darius mother referred to Alexander as her only son after having been abandoned by Darius and captured by Alexander, it is likely that he took over the household and may have assumed the role of king to Queen Stateira. In 324 BC, her daughter Stateira II, married Alexander and her other daughter, Drypteis, married one of his chief warriors. When Alexander died one year later these royal Persian women mourned his death, further indicating personal relationships rather than merely diplomatic ones. Both of her daughters and their families were assassinated by another wife of Alexander, Roxana , seeking in vain, to assure that her son would succeed him and their grandmother committed suicide.

Speculation on the location of the Pinarus has been raging for over 80 years. Older historians believed it to be the Deli Tchai river , but historians N.G.L. Hammond and A.M. Devine have made convincing claims that the Pinarus is actually the Payas river , the latter using eye witness description of the battle, mainly by the historian of Alexander, Ptolemy , compared with a personal examination of the riverine terrain, which may not have drastically changed since antiquity. The Issos River at approx. 36.30 East by 36.60 North is the geographical point that the battle is named after.

Year of Five Emperors The Year of the Five Emperors refers to the year 193 Common Era AD , in which there were five claimants for the title of Roman Emperor . The five were Pertinax , Didius Julianus , Pescennius Niger , Clodius Albinus and Septimius Severus . The year 193 opened with the murder of Commodus on New Year s Eve , 31 December 192 and the proclamation of the City Prefect Pertinax as Emperor on New Year s Day , 1 January 193. Pertinax was assassination assassinated by the Praetorian Guard on 28 March 193. Later that day, Didius Julianus outmanoeuvered Titus Flavius Sulpicianus Pertinax s father in law and also the new City Prefect for the title of Emperor. Flavius Sulpicianus offered to pay each soldier 20,000 sestertius sestertii to buy their loyalty eight times their annual salary also the same amount offered by Marcus Aurelius to secure their favours in 161 . Didius Julianus however offered 25,000 to each soldier to win the auction and was proclaimed Emperor by the Roman Senate on 28 March. However, three other prominent Ancient Rome Romans challenged for the throne Pescennius Niger in Syria Roman province Syria , Clodius Albinus in Roman Britain Britain , and Septimius Severus in Pannonia . Septimius Severus marched on Rome to oust Didius Julianus and had him decapitated on 1 June 193, then dismissed the Praetorian Guard and executed the soldiers who had killed Pertinax. Consolidating his power, Septimius Severus battled Pescennius Niger at Battle of Cyzicus 193 Cyzicus and Battle of Nicaea Nicea in 193 and then decisively defeated him at Battle of Issus 194 Issus in 194. Clodius Albinus initially supported Septimius Severus believing that he would succeed him. When he realised that Severus had other intentions, Albinus had himself declared Emperor in 195 but was defeated by Septimius Severus at the Battle of Lugdunum on 19 February 197.

For other persons with the same name, see Amyntas Amyntas , son of Antiochus was a Macedon ian general, fugitive and traitor. As officer of Philip II of Macedon Philip II ,he and Amyntas son of Perdiccas were awarded proxenies by the Oropians in Boeotia before 338 BC . After the death of Philip II, Amyntas fled from Macedonia. Arrian p. 17, f. ascribes his flight from Macedonia to his hatred and fear of Alexander the Great the ground of these feelings is not stated, but Mitford ch. 44. sect. 1 connects him with the plot of Pausanias of Orestis and the murder of Philip. He took refuge in Ephesus under Persian protection whence, however, after the battle of the Granicus , fearing the approach of Alexander, he escaped with the Greek mercenaries who garrisoned the place, and fled to the court of Darius. In the winter of the same year, 333 BC , while Alexander was at Phaselis in Lycia, discovery was made of a plot against his life, in which Amyntas was implicated. He appears to have acted as the channel through whom Darius had been negotiating with Alexander of Lyncestis , and had promised to aid him in mounting the Macedonian throne on condition of assassinating Alexander. The design was discovered through the confession of Asisines , a Persian, whom Darius had despatched on a secret mission to the Lyncestian, and who was apprehended by Parmenion in Phrygia. At the battle of Issus we hear again of Amyntas as a commander of Greek mercenaries in the Persian service and Plutarch and Arrian mention his advice vainly given to Darius shortly before, to await Alexander s approach in the large open plains to the westward of Cilicia. On the defeat of the Persians at the battle of Issus, Amyntas fled with a large body of Greeks to Tripolis region of Phoenicia . There he seized some ships, with which he passed over to Cyprus, and thence to Egypt, of the sovereignty of which a double traitor he designed to possess himself.

At the Battle of Issus 333 BC , Darius army was routed and the Persian king fled the field, leaving his extended family, including his mother, his wife Stateira I , his children, and many others to the mercy of Alexander. Alexander captured them, but treated them well. Stateira I died giving birth around 332 BC and some suspect that the child was that of Alexander. Quintus Curtius Rufus informs us of the reaction of Sisygambis to this desertion by Darius Sisygambis never forgave him, and when called upon to mourn his death was reported to have said, I have only one son Alexander and he is king of all Persia . She married her granddaughter, Stateira II , to Alexander in 324 BC. On hearing of the death of Alexander, Sisygambis had herself sealed into her rooms and died of grief and starvation. Asteroid 823 Sisigambis is named after her. Persondata Metadata see Wikipedia Persondata .

These are solitary wasp s whose larva e are parasitoid s on other insects. The only known hosts are Hemiptera , especially leafhopper s. Adults of these insects are generally fairly small, to a maximum length of 10 mm. Males are usually fully winged but females are often completely wingless and closely resemble ant s. The egg biology eggs are injected into the host using a sharp ovipositor and the larva spends its early stages feeding internally on the host but when larger it starts to protrude from the abdomen of the host and develops a hardened sac like case to protect its vulnerable body while continuing to feed on the host, which is eventually killed.
