Alexander the Great on Bucephalus, bronze equestrian monument by Evangelos Moustakas, photograph by Franco R. Batista Garcia, Thessaloniki, 10 September 2025.
Following the assassination of Philip II of Macedon in October 336 BCE, his son Alexander ascended to the throne of a rising power in the Mediterranean. He would go on to embark on a series of campaigns against Persia for 10 years, bring about the collapse of the most powerful state in the Mediterranean world, and change the course of history. This 1973 bronze statue of Alexander the Great on his beloved horse Bucephalus can be found on the waterfront of Thessaloniki's Nea Paralia.
