Pyrrhus, the King of Epirus, is taken as a hostage to Egypt after the Battle of Ipsus and makes a diplomatic marriage with the princess Antigone, daughter of Ptolemy and Berenice.
Ptolemy concludes an alliance with King Lysimachus of Thrace and gives him his daughter Arsinoe II in marriage.

Seleucus founds the city of Antioch, some 20 miles up the Orontes River, naming it after his father.
After the death of his wife Apama, Seleucus marries Stratonice, daughter of Demetrius Poliorcetes.

The central texts of Jainism, the Jain scriptures, are recorded (approximate date).

In Pella (in Macedonia), the artist Gnosis makes a mosaic floor decoration called Stag Hunt and even signs it with "Gnosis made it". It is today preserved at the Archaeological museum in Pella.
