contents This paper explores the phenomenon of "Hellenistic Globalism" as a transformative era in Eurasian history, characterized by extensive networks of power and profound cultural exchange following Alexander the Great's conquests. It investigates how the establishment of Hellenistic kingdoms, particularly the Seleucid Empire and the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom, facilitated unprecedented connectivity across vast geographical distances, from the Mediterranean to the Indian subcontinent. The study analyzes the mechanisms of power projection, including military administration, urban foundations, and trade routes, and their role in the diffusion of Greek language, institutions, and artistic styles. Concurrently, it examines the reciprocal influence of indigenous cultures on Hellenistic societies, leading to unique hybrid cultural forms such as Greco-Buddhism. Through an interdisciplinary methodology encompassing historical analysis, archaeology, and numismatics, this research argues that Hellenistic globalism represented an early, significant phase of interconnectedness, laying foundational elements for later trans-Eurasian interactions and leaving a lasting legacy of cultural fusion that transcends simple assimilation.
