Alexander the Great: I’ve spent almost a year now researching him, his family, his enemies (who turned allies), his horse, his motivations, his mental state, his death, his art, his monuments and homes… and a lot more.
Complex, intriguing, fascinating . . . with many “no way” moments.
I have assembled a number of items that are associated with him. Enjoy!
Born in 356 BC, Alexander ascended to the throne at the age of 20. He spent most of his ruling years on an unprecedented military campaign through Asia and northeast Africa. By 30, he had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from Greece to northwestern India.
Carved from casting stone, this head is mounted on a marble base with plaque affixed. Directly from Greece. Perfect condition.
