Alexander Macedon III, also known as Alexander the Great was a king, he was on a quest to spread the Greek culture and known as Hellenism, across his empire. The areas he had conquered were Persia, Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, Bactria, and the Punjab; also in Egypt he founded the city of Alexandria. His greatest conquests and actions have had an affect on the Mediterranean.
The banknote (also known as paper money or note) was one of them. Marco Polo was particularly surprised when he first encountered it. Banknotes were not made out of paper, but out of the bark of the mulberry tree. Other products or inventions included the compass, the gunpowder and the printing.
