This particular piece was inspired both by orthodox religious icons and Macedonian folk garments, in particular bridal gowns which seemed appropriate
ex. bridal gowns from the Mijak region of Galichnik, and from Skopska Crna Gora

#108 Iskandar the Great
One of the greatest military commanders of all time, Iskandar’s inner circle were not all yes-men. Iskandar was happy to adopt traditions and fashion from conquered areas, especially Persia, which alienated quite a few of his Macedonian advisors.
The leather strap theory is sort of my counter thesis on the concensus that the Macedonian pelte used the same Argive Porpax grip to the Aspis which I disagree.
I believe that the Macedonian shields likely used leather straps to fasten the entire left arm to the shield.
Reconstruction sketch of an armored phalangite (possibly an officer of the Kleruchoi) from the Nile mosiac of Palestrina.
I urge you to read the next post. It's about a theory of mine regarding the Macedonian shields.

Nero. A former Macedonian Dracoknight (with a dragon named Galba). Is a noble with a very self-important attitude.

Cleopatra - Cleopatra VII Philopator was Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, and its last active ruler. A member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, she was a descendant of its founder Ptolemy I Soter, a Macedonian Greek general and companion of Alexander the Great.
Demosthene's anti-Macedonianism brought much grief to Athens
After Alexander died in Babylon he encouraged Athens to revolt from Macedonian rule, but ultimately Antipater defeated the Greeks and imposed harsh conditions on Athens
Demosthenes's committed suicide shortly afterwards
@reddit_TLCM Wrong date. I think he was referring to the Theban Sacred Band which were composed of 300 homosexuals, which makes the date 338 B.C. not 60 B.C.
Second the Sacred Band was brutally massacred by the Macedonians so that shieldwall he's referring to is not "unbreakable" lol
Are "half graduations" and "half proms" only a thing here or....? Cause I don't think I've ever heard about it from anyone apart from Macedonians....
It's like prom/grad but for finishing 9th grade instead of highschool. Highschool is grad/prom, 9th grade is half grad/prom.
@Hillebard2 I was searching for some references in Pinterest. Well obviously the second image is 17th Century but you get the gist.
I wanted a sort of creating a unit capable of countering the Ottoman Janissaries. Something befitting that of a 16th Century Macedonian Royal Guard.

By 323 BC the number of Asian battalions in Alexander the Great's army far outnumbered the Macedonian contingents in size and strength. Among them were some of the finest cavalrymen in the whole of Asia, hailing from noble Oriental families

Inhabiting the rugged lands northwest of the Corinthian gulf, the Aetolians had a history for being unruly – defying the Macedonians for several decades during the late 4th and 3rd centuries
Scholars debate whether Philip’s Companions also had a small shield like the pelta of his Macedonian infantrymen. Whether this is the case or not, it appears they discarded it by the time of Alexander’s crossing into Asia in 334 BC

Against all the odds, in late 321 BC the Aetolian League successfully resisted invasion from a huge Macedonian army, the world superpower. Where the likes of historic city-states such as Athens and Sparta had failed, the Aetolians had triumphed
