Is it true that Alexander the Great died in Babylon in June 323 BCE?
Yes. Multiple reference works state that Alexander the Great died in Babylon in June 323 BCE, with several specifying 10 or 11 June 323 BCE. Two duplicate Zenodo records instead give 13 June 323 BCE, a minor date discrepancy that does not affect the month, year or place.
