The latest news
of such a “discovery” comes from the Archaeological Museum of Veroia, where a forgotten bust of Alexander the Great has been spotted. It
could not immediately be identified as such because the piece was recovered
from re-used building material in Veroia.
After analysis
by Angeliki Kottarid, director of the museum and the Hellenic Ministry of
Culture, the hitherto unknown portrait has been confirmed to represent Alexander. The work is believed to date
from the 2nd century BC and is one of the rare examples recovered
from Macedonia
The good news is
that, after being cleaned and restored, it will be exhibited at the Museum of the Macedonian Royal Tombs in Vergina
– probably by the end of 2020.
