Historia post Alexandrum

Historia post Alexandrum fuit opus ab Arriano Graece medio saeculo II p.C.n. scriptum de rebus a successoribus Alexandri Magni gestis et de primo bello Diadochorum. Opus hodie deperditum e citationibus paucis palimpsestisque fragmentariis nobis cognoscitur, sed etiam ex epitoma quae Photius in Bibliotheca sua inclusit.

Operis nunquam perfecti Arrianus iam senex decem libros composuit, ab anno 323 a.C.n. usque in annum 320 exeunte, Antipatro mox morituro. Auctor ergo tres fere libros ad quemquam annum enarrandum dedicabat, sed unde res hauserit nescitur: fontibus fortasse Historiis Hieronymi Cardiani (Eumenis amici et commilitonis, deinde rerum gestarum scriptoris) et Duridis Samii, certe et aliis, usus est.
