Alexander the Great Ceremonial Sword

Alexander III of Macedon was more commonly known as Alexander the Great. He was born in 356BC and succeeded his father Philip II to the throne at the age of 20.

During his reign he was undefeated in battle and is remembered as being one of history’s most successful commanders.
