An impressive statue in Thessaloniki (Θεσσαλονίκη) of Alexander the Great's father, Philip II of Macedon (Φίλιππος Β΄ ὁ Μακεδών).
Philip was the king of Macedon from 359 BC until his assassination in 336 BC, when he was killed by Pausanias of Orestis (Παυσανίας ἐκ τῆς Ὀρεστίδος), a member of his personal bodyguard.
