Lord of Asia

Lord of Asia (in Greek Κύριος της Ασίας) was the title given to Alexander the Great after the Battle of Gaugamela in 331 BC.^[1] The title passed on to his successors after his death in 323 BC., though none of them held any actual power in Asia or any other part of the Alexandrian Empire; the actual power fell to the numerous regents or the rebellious satraps. With the partition of his empire and the rise of the Diadochi, the title of Lord of Asia fell in abeyance.
