EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a momentous occasion in history - the wedding of Alexander the Great, King of Macedon, to Roxana, daughter of Oxyartes, a Bactrian chief whom he had defeated but now made an ally. The year was 327 BC when this royal alliance took place on a grand staircase under a beautiful canopy.
Alexander III of Macedon and Roxana's union symbolized not only love but also political strategy as they solidified their bond through marriage. Their son, Alexander IV Aegus, was born after his father's death and carried on the legacy of one of the greatest conquerors in history.
The image exudes regality and grace as the couple stands together in matrimonial bliss. The intricate details of their attire and surroundings speak volumes about the opulence and grandeur of ancient Greek royalty.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to a time when kingdoms were forged through alliances and marriages held great significance beyond personal happiness. The legacy of Alexander the Great lives on through images like these that capture moments frozen in time for us to marvel at centuries later.
