This print showcases the powerful and enigmatic figure of Olympias, queen of Macedon. As the wife of Philip II and mother of Alexander the Great, she played a significant role in shaping ancient Greek history. The image is part of a series of medallions commissioned by Emperor Caracalla during his reign from AD 212 to 217. Olympias' regal presence is evident in this portrait, as her piercing gaze and dignified posture exude strength and authority. Dressed in traditional Macedonian attire, she embodies the essence of an influential woman who left an indelible mark on her time. The photograph transports us back to a distant era when empires rose and fell, highlighting the enduring legacy that Olympias represents. Her connection to Alexander the Great adds another layer of intrigue to her story, as she undoubtedly influenced his upbringing and instilled within him qualities that would shape his destiny.
