The multinational Roman Empire, which split into Western and Eastern, included people who basically spoke the Common Hellenistic language.


Alexander the Great himself took care of this in his short reign, we hear from Stratos Theodosiou, astrophysicist and president of the Greek Physicists Association, who has written more than 30 books on the Greek language, with a large number of them focused on this period.

More in his interview with Stergos Kastelloriou, in our series "We Speak Greek in March".
