Roxana (died BC, , ; Old Iranian: *Raṷxšnā- "shining, radiant, brilliant", ) sometimes known as Roxanne, Roxanna and Roxane, was a Bactrian or Sogdian princess who married Alexander the Great after he invaded Persia and defeated Darius, ruler of the Achaemenid Empire.
==Life== Roxana was the daughter of the Bactrian nobleman Oxyartes, satrap of Bactria and Sogdia. He served Bessus, and thus was probably involved in the murder of the last Achaemenid king: Darius III. The exact date of her birth is unknown, but she was of childbearing age by 326 BC, placing her birth before 336 BC.
