Philip of Macedon large round plaque
This is an accurate enlarged reproduction of the ancient gold medallion depicting the king of Macedonia
Philip II. Philip of Macedon was father of Alexander the Great and architect of the powerful Macedonian
phalanx which later conquered the Persian Empire. It is him that elevated the Macedonians into a
leading nation in Europe after having defeated all neighboring lands and annexed them to Macedonia.
He defeated the Illyrians, the Thracians, the Greeks, the Scythians, and Triballians. The Macedonian
victory over the Greeks at Chaeronea in 338 BC at which young Alexander also took part in, ensured
Macedonian dominance. Thus the Greek historian Theopompus of Chios wrote that Europe had never
seen a man like king Philip of Macedonia, and called his history of the mid-4th century BC the Philippic
History.
