Here are the examples matched to the specific places where they happened:

1. **Married Roxane to secure a connection to a local chieftain** - **Bactria** (modern-day Afghanistan, where Roxane was from)
2. **Adopted local dress and encouraged proskynesis** - **Persia** (this is where Alexander adopted Persian customs and promoted proskynesis, a form of submission or respect)
3. **Accepted the title “son of Ammon” and wore the double crown of the region’s traditional rulers** - **Egypt** (where he was proclaimed the son of the god Ammon and donned the pharaonic crown)

These actions reflect Alexander's strategy of integrating and securing loyalty among the peoples he conquered.
