2 COIN SET Kingdom Of Macedon, Philip Ii Of Macedon (359 - 336 Bce), 'Father Of Alexander The Great' and “Alexander The Great”
Philip II chief architect of the mighty Macedonian army, with its invincible Phalanx formation, that after his death, his son would use to conquer the Persian Empire. In his own lifetime, Philip used this army to defeat the established powers of Ancient Greece at Chaeronea in 338 BCE, binding them together into the League of Corinth. On the eve of his invasion of Persia in 336 BCE, he was assassinated by one of his own body guards. It has been suggested that his son Alexander was involved in the planning his murder.
King Philip’s military battles and diplomatic tactics resulted in the expansion of his empire and domination over all of Greece. After he conquered Greece, he planned to conquer the Persian Empire, but he would never achieve this goal. Philip II was assassinated in 336 B.C.E., and was succeeded by his son, Alexander III, later known as Alexander the Great. While Philip II did not fulfill his plans to expand his empire through Persian territory, he is often credited with paving the way for his son to be one of the greatest military leaders in history.
Although king of ancient Macedonia for less than 13 years, Alexander the Great changed the course of history. One of the world's greatest military generals, he created a vast empire that stretched from Macedonia to Egypt and from Greece to part of India
