Narrative: Under the direction of Prof. d'Espouy, the graduates of the famous Paris school of art, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, measured, rendered and shaded the views of the famous monuments of ancient Greece and Rome. These drawing were then reproduced by a 19th C. process called heliography. Alexander died in 323 BC, leaving the Macedonian empire with no clear successor. The vacuum created by Alexander's death led to conflicts within the empire and eventually to its dissolution. Generals in the Macedonian army divided the empire into smaller kingdoms. These kingdoms continued to fight with each other for several decades until the year 215 BC. Starting in 215 BC Macedonia was assailed by the Romans in a series of three wars which lasted until 168 BC. In 148 BC the region became a Roman province. The print depicts various Roman fragments collected in 1861 by M. Hauzey and Daumet on their mission to Macedonia sponsored by Emperor napoleon III to study the life of Caesar. Some of the artifacts depicted here are in the Louvre Museum of Paris. The illustrations depict the Arch at Philippi (Greece) and a city Gate at Thessaloniki.
