Macedon (satrapy)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Macedonia was briefly a satrapy (province) of the Achaemenid Empire. It was added to the empire when general Mardonius conquered the territory in 492 BCE. It became an important base for further European conquest and also contained gold mines.[1]
