The Antigonid dynasty was one of the four dynasties that were established by the successors of Alexander. It was a dynasty of the Hellenistic kings in Greece from 306 to 168 BC.
Antipatrid, Antigonid, Argead Dynasties.
Alexander's the Great heir was his son Alexander IV who was born after his death. The day of his death though he left his empire [τω κρατίστω - the strongest] therefore his marshals battled among themselves to take the power of the regions they were appointed to govern. After 60 years of conflict finally the empire was split in three major empires. They were the Antigonid Empire in Greece, the Seleucid Empire in Mesopotamia and Persia, the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt, Palestine and Cyrenaica [current Libya].
After Alexander the Great's death in 323 BCE, his empire was divided among his generals. However, there was no single new king who succeeded him. The empire was divided into multiple territories ruled by different kings and dynasties, including the Antigonid dynasty in Macedonia, the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt, and the Seleucid dynasty in Persia.
Macedomia, Syria in the east, the kingdoms of Pergamum in western Asia Minor, and Egypt.
No, and sort of yes.This is a simplistic treatment. Geographically speaking, Egypt and Greece are separated by the Mediterranean Sea. Culturally, they are different, but share some of the same roots. Historically, they are even more connected: Egypt was the southern portion of the empire Alexander of Macedonia conquered. After his death, succession was juggled a bit, but settled into four empires: Ptolemaic Egypt under Alexander's former general Ptolemy I Soter, the Near Eastern Seleucid Empire of Seleucus I Nicator (General of Alexander's infantry), the city of Pergamom ruled by Lysimachus, and finally the Antigonid Dynasty ruled first by Antigonus I Monophthalmus over Asia Minor and northern Syria. Alexander's conquest of Egypt brought Greek and Egyptian culture together, essentially merging the two in the latter centuries before the rise of the Roman Empire.

No Roman emperor wanted to conquer the lands that Alexander the Great had conquered. The Roman conquests in areas which Alexander had conquered occurred during the period of the Roman Republic, before the period of rule by emperors and before there were Roman emperors. These various conquests, which occurred at separate times, had nothing to do with a desire to conquer Alexander's former territories.
Countries ruled by Emperors are Empires. Currently there is only one Emperor in the world and it's Emperor Akihito of Japan (which isn't technically an Empire!) Past countries ruled by an emperor were: Roman Empire (Augustus was the worlds first emperor) Byzantine Empire Persian Empire Ottoman Empire Holy Roman Empire Austrian Empire Bulgarian Empire Serbian Empire Aztec Empire Inca Empire Russian Empire French Empire (Napoleon) British Empire (although the emperor usually called sovereign or king/queen) German Empire Spanish Empire Chinese Empire Japanese Empire Korean Empire Mongolian Empire Vietnamese Empire Brazilian Empire Ethiopian Empire Somalian Empire Central-African Empire
