This article has been promoted to GA status and has been stable for quite a while now. I have recently beefed up the lead section to better represent the material found in the body of the article, in anticipation of a Featured Article candidacy. Aside from that there have been very few edits since the GAC process and these represent minor if not superficial change. The article is very short but covers a wide variety of topics, while utilizing a decent amount of scholarly sources. The images are all properly sourced and licensed. As far as I know there are no glaring omissions of any major themes covered in academia that pertain to this topic. For anyone who's a fan of ancient history, including the reigns of Philip II of Macedon and Alexander the Great, it will most likely be an entertaining and informative read. Enjoy!

Like Laser brain, I'm sorry to see this hasn't had much in the way of review but I don't think anything will be gained from leaving it open, so I'm going to archive it. Given the relative lack of commentary I'm okay with waiving the usual two-week waiting period following an archive; perhaps getting into the top of the list in the new month will give it greater visibility.
