Alexander the Great plaque
This plaque depicts the head of Alexander the Great. This is one of the most recognized depiction of the
greatest conqueror that ever lived. It comes from the coins of the Macedonian king Lysimachus who ruled
Thrace and it shows Alexander the Great with the horn of Ammon. 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".
