From the Paper:

"The Hellenistic period covers some 300 years, from 323 B.C. to 31 B.C. The beginning of the era was marked by the death of Alexander the Great, and the end came with the Roman conquest of the Hellenistic regime. There were massive political changes during this time period, as the self-contained city-states suddenly gave way to the much more loosely organized domains of the Hellenistic kings. In addition, Greek cities were now founded far to the East of the previous boundaries of Hellenism."
