Mural of 1568 calls Alexander “king of Hellenes”

Posted by: admin in Alexander the Great, Macedonian Culture, Medieval Macedonian History

From greek newspaper ‘Kathimerini’. The mural dates from 1568 and anyone can see it in Moni Docheiareiou in Mt. Athos. The monastery of Docheiareiou appears to date back to the early years of the eleventh century.

From one side it says ‘Alexander King of the Hellenes’ and from the other ‘Augustus King of the Romans’

    Not to be confused with Alexander the Great, this is probably Emperor Alexander of Byzanthium.

    To the guy above: if you have absolutely no clue about something, better not write anything. The Mural shows 4 kings of antiquity, namely Alexander the Great, Ceasar, Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon and the King of Persians.
