The founding, or re-founding, of cities was a powerful engine of local change in the empires created by Alexander the Great and his successors. However, in Founding the City, François Gerardin argues that a "new wave" of city foundations in the second century BCE played an equally decisive role in shaping the eastern Mediterranean and Near East.
