Greece: The Amphipolis Tomb




Article by Giorgos Christides



Sketch: Greek Ministry of Culture

Could it be the tomb of Olympias, the Epirote mother of Alexander the Great? Is it Greek or Roman?

Christides:

"Archaeologists agree that the magnificence of the tomb means it was built for a prominent person - perhaps a member of Alexander's immediate family; maybe his mother, Olympias, or his wife, Roxana -or some noble Macedonian. Others say it could be a cenotaph".

Greek or Roman, More speculation
