| | Philip_2 of Macedon |
 | | Philip was often passed over in twentieth century scholarship in favor of his more energetic son, Alexander, but recent archeology near Aigai (Vergina), and at other sites within ancient Macedonian territory, have revived interest in the fourth and fifth century kings, Philip in particular. |
 | | The work of Manolis Andronicos, in particular, has furthered the field of Macedonian archeology incredibly in the past few decades and inevitably leads to new scholarship on the subject in the areas. |
 | | With this new interest in Philip, historians are able to get a better look at the genius of his diplomacy, the innovations in his army, his amazing strategic ability and the impossible situation he was faced with and how he overcame it. |
