Problem with Dr Tombers facts. Alexander was Macedonian/Greek, not Roman. Otherwise, interesting story.

I don't see the problem in his facts he said Alexander was a model for the Roman emperors not that he himself was Roman and the Romans were most definitely beholden to the Greeks.

"India had a long fascination for the Romans, going back to Alexander the Great"

There was no question that the Romans admired Alexander and tried to emulate him.
