323 AD
Constantine I defeats the Sarmatians and claims the title of Sarmaticus Maximus.

Also in 323 BC
June 10 - Alexander the Great dies in Babylon. After a dispute with the infantry led by Meleager, the cavalry general Perdiccas becomes Regent of the Empire. Alexander's posthumous son Alexander IV is declared King of Macedon and co-ruler with his uncle Philip III (Alexander's half-brother). He makes Ptolemy Governor of Egypt, Eumenes governor of Cappadocia and Paphlagonia, Antigonus Governor of Phrygia, Lysimachus Governor of Thrace; while Macedon itself was to be ruled by its old regent Antipater jointly with Alexander's chief lieutenant Craterus.
At the news of Alexander's death, Athens and other Greek cities revolt against Macedonian rule in what will become known as the Lamian War, due to the long siege of the Macedonian regent Antipater in Lamia by the Athenians and their allies which is the main military action of the war.
