Ancient Macedonia

Ancient Macedonia was a region in northern Greece, known for its powerful kingdom during the 4th century BCE. It was home to the Macedonians, who founded a monarchy under kings like Philip II and his son Alexander the Great. Macedonia played a key role in expanding Greek culture and territory through military conquests, eventually creating an empire that stretched across Egypt, Persia, and India. The region was culturally Greek but distinct, with its own traditions. Its legacy includes spreading Greek language, arts, and ideas throughout the known world, influencing the course of history significantly.
