| General Description | Vergina is a small town in northern Greece, located in the prefecture of Imathia, Central Macedonia. The town became internationally famous in 1977, when the Greek archaeologist Manolis Andronikos unearthed what he claimed was the burial site of the kings of Macedon, including the tomb of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. |
| Front Description | The gold, silver, bronze and iron grave goods in the antechamber and burial chamber (diadem, wreaths, ossuary chests, quiver-and-bow-case, vessels etc.), and the high artistic quality of their craftsmanship (e.g. the ivory decoration of a shield) attest a royal burial. |
