(with broken nose)
This is a hand-sculpted and cast
stoned with antique finish
reproduction of the bust of Alexander
the Great found in the Acropolis of
Athens and now in the Archeological
Museum of Athens. In the museum
original the nose is broken. Our
customers have the option to own this
impressive piece of sculpture as it is
in the museum (as pictured here) or
with the restored nose as we have
restored it and are the first to offer it.
Alexander III the Great, the King of
Macedonia and conqueror of the
Persian Empire is considered one of
the greatest military geniuses of all
times. He was inspiration for later
conquerors such as Hannibal the
Carthaginian, the Romans Pompey
and Caesar, and Napoleon.
Alexander was son of Philip II, King of
Macedonia, and Olympias, the
princess of neighboring Epirus.
Having conquered the entire Persian
Empire he made Macedonia the
largest world empire, stretching from
Europe to India. For the next three
centuries the Macedonians ruled
most of this vast area, ending with
Cleopatra VII in 30 BC, the last
Macedonian ruler of Egypt. This
period of 300 years is known today as
"Hellenistic".
