Description
In 336 BCE, at the height of his power, King Philip II of Macedon entered a grand theater to celebrate a royal wedding. He never left alive.
In this episode of History Shorts, we revisit one of antiquity's most shocking political murders—the assassination of Philip II, the man who transformed Macedonia from a backwater kingdom into the dominant military power of Greece and laid the foundations for an empire his son would soon inherit.
