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’
