EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a medallion portrait of Philip II of Macedon, dating back to 212 AD. Philip II, the father of the legendary Alexander the Great, reigned as King from 382 BC to 336 BC. The medallion captures the left side of his face in intricate detail, while history tells us that his right side was disfigured during an unfortunate incident at the siege of Methone in 354 BC. Housed within the esteemed collection of the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, this ancient artifact offers a glimpse into one of Greece's most influential monarchs. With its vibrant colors and lifelike depiction, it transports viewers back to a time when Macedonia thrived under Philip's rule. The sculpture portrays a regal figure with undeniable power and authority. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of Philip's significant role in shaping ancient Greece but also his lasting legacy through his son Alexander III who succeeded him as ruler. Through this print by Anon (creator), we can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind its creation and its historical significance as a representation of King Philip II. It serves as a testament to an era long gone yet forever imprinted on our collective memory thanks to figures like Philip and Alexander who left an indelible mark on history.
