well...

I of course was not planning on buying the sculpture.I assumed that the sculpture was one of the many works of art that are only dubiously called "Alexander", in that it was probably modelled on Alexander's likeness, either directly or not. I would not be altogether suprised if it was a fa...

These existed long after Alexander, and they brought defeat after defeat to the Roman Legions sent to conquer Persia. Marc Antony lost a number of legions to the Parthians, and the Sassanid Zoroa...

Also: There are(whether you choose to aknowldge it or not) Modern Greek, Slavic, and Albanian Macedonians. This seems t...
