Events
- Spring - beginning of the Second War of the Diadochi. In Greece, Antipater's son Cassander revolts against his father's chosen successor as regent, Polyperchon. Cassander allies with Ptolemy I Soter, the governor of Egypt, and Antigonus, the commander in Asia, who, for different reasons, wish to see Polyperchon defeated. Polyperchon turns to Eumenes, whom he has King Philip III make Commander in Asia in opposition to Antigonus.
- Polyperchon and Cassander spar over control of the Greek cities, whose freedom Polyperchon proclaims.
- Eumenes invades Phoenicia.
