Archaeologists: Vergina fortifications date to reign of post-Alexander King Cassander

Excavation works over the 2016 season at the Vergina archaeological site brought to light a wall dated to the Macedonian period, a development that long-time researchers of the specific dig said changes perceptions about the ancient city.

The defence works, according the researchers, are dated to the reign of post-Alexander regent King Cassander - roughly between 315 and 297 BC.
