		His military experiences informed a variety of historical writings, including his history of Alexander the Great, the Anabasis Alexandri, which is probably the best known of his writings.
		Hamilton fas focused on the Anabasis, noting that Arrian intended the work to be his masterpiece.
		Yet the work is flawed, Hamilton maintains, by Arrian's sometimes “narrow” approach to the topic and lacks a sense of appreciation for larger issues.

	Ptolemy I Soter’s self-promotion in his history of Alexander the Great
		Another one of Ptolemy’s deed was the brazen theft of Alexander’s corpse and its eventual relocalization to Memphis, then Alexandria.[3] But the most important part of his career to historians was the now-lost history he wrote of his tribulations with Alexander.
		This is definitely the sort of story that a man would be admired for in those days, and in Roman times we know of the spolia opima given to the victor of just that sort of combat.
		Maybe this appealed to the military leader in Arrian and that is why he put this episode in the Anabasis.
