Hello,
I won't beat around the bush- I was just wondering what could be termed as the most enduring symbol throughout the reign of Alexander?I mean emblem on shield, building, temple, etc.Best regards and thanks in advance,
Dean.

Alexander himself,as he was portrayed in coins,paintings,busts throughout the empire and still today they remember his name in Asia.(Kalas,e.t.c) I would inittially say the sun of Vergina,but it wasnt Alexander's symbol.It was used by Phillip too,and it was used on shields,tombs e.t.c.It was Macedonia's symbol in general,although it's not yet known if it was a religious or political symbol.

Hello,
what are the origins of the sun of vergina?
Best regards,
Dean.

I think the foundation of Alexandria in Egypt is the most enduring legacy in terms of "things" rather than ideology.

Yes, absolutely. It has outlasted most everything - apart from the fascination still held for the world conqueror.Paralus.
