Alexander the Great on horseback, with sword and shield, bronze-plated statue

Hand-finished, bronzed resin statue, crafted with attention to every fine detail. Known as one of history's most successful military commanders, strategists, and tacticians, Alexander the Great united the city-states of ancient Greece and then conquered the Persian Empire, reaching as far as the Punjab. As a student of Aristotle, he was driven by a quest for greatness, fueled by his alleged descent from Greek gods such as Zeus and Achilles. During his twelve-year campaign, he integrated foreigners into his army and encouraged his officers to marry local women. Alexander the Great planned to continue his conquests westward into Europe, but he died of an illness in Babylon at the age of 33. His legacy is an integral part of the Hellenistic age as we know it today.
