Queen Meda's Gold Wreath from the antechamber of tomb of Philip II of Macedon Aigai Vergina 336 BCE

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Queen Meda's Gold Myrtle Wreath from the antechamber of tomb of Philip II of Macedon Aigai Vergina 336 BC. Gold wreaths originally were reserved for the gods, but in the 4th century BC they also became fashionable for kings, queens, and the wealthy. Queen Meda was Philip II's sixth wife, a Thracian princess. As was the custom in Thrace she threw herself on his funeral pyre in order to follow him to the Kingdom of the Dead. Therefore, she was the only one of his seven wives to have been buried in his tomb. Now in the collections of the Archaeological Museum of Aigai, Vergina.
