Alexander the Great in Greek and Roman art / by Margarete Bieber

Margarete Bieber

What written history has missed, art has preserved for us. Portraits of Alexander, from his youth to the time of his death at age 32, showing him as a crownprince, a young general, a king, and even as a god, have been found throughout the ancient world, giving us not only evidence of his likeness, but of his route and his impression upon the people whom he conquered or, in some cases, liberated.
