EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the powerful and enigmatic figure of Olympias, queen of Macedon, during the 3rd century AD. As the wife of Philip II and mother to one of history's most renowned conquerors, Alexander the Great, Olympias held a significant role in shaping ancient Greece. Commissioned by Emperor Caracalla between 212-217 AD, this medallion captures Olympias' regal presence with exquisite detail. The vibrant colors bring her to life as she stands draped in elegant attire, symbolizing her status as a royal woman in ancient Greek society. Olympias' influence extended beyond her familial ties; she played an active role in politics and was known for her intelligence and ambition. Her connection to Macedonia is evident through this portrait, reflecting her importance within the region's history. The anonymous creator skillfully sculpted this piece to highlight Olympias' strength and beauty. With every line etched into the medallion's surface, we are reminded of her unwavering determination that shaped not only her own destiny but also that of future generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Alexander the Great himself, we are transported back in time to witness a glimpse of royalty from centuries past. This print serves as a testament to both Olympias' enduring legacy and the artistic talent that has preserved it for us today.
