Sparta (jan 1, 900 BC – sep 13, 2023)
Description:
In ancient times, Macedonia was a kingdom located in the northern Greek peninsula during the 4th century BC. It was initially considered a backwater region, but under the leadership of King Philip II, it transformed into a powerful and expansionist state. Philip II introduced important military reforms and formed the Macedonian Phalanx, a highly effective infantry formation. His son, Alexander the Great, inherited the throne and embarked on a legendary conquest, creating one of the largest empires in history. Alexander's campaigns stretched from Greece to Egypt, Persia, and India, leaving a lasting Hellenistic influence on the lands he conquered and forever altering the course of ancient history
