EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning marble head, believed to represent Alexander the Great (356-323 BC), the legendary King of Macedon, is a testament to the artistic mastery of the Hellenistic period. Discovered in Pergamon, modern-day Bergama in Turkey, this artifact dates back to the first half of the 2nd century BC. Alexander the Great, a member of the Argead Dynasty, is renowned for his military conquests that expanded the Macedonian Empire from Greece to Egypt and parts of Asia. The intricately carved marble head showcases the youthful and regal features of Alexander, with his chiseled jawline, piercing gaze, and wavy, curled hair. The broken bust below is missing, leaving only the head, but it is still an impressive sight to behold. The intricate hairstyle, with its elaborate curls and swirls, is a hallmark of the Hellenistic period and reflects the artistic influence of both Greek and Eastern styles. Alexander the Great's rule marked the beginning of the Hellenistic Age, a period of cultural exchange and artistic innovation. This head, now housed in the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, is a reminder of the rich history and artistic achievements of that era. The broken pieces of the bust below suggest that this head once adorned a grand statue, perhaps erected in honor of Alexander's military victories or his role as a Pharaoh in Egypt. This head, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, continues to captivate viewers and inspire wonder about the ancient world.
