Big Al’s body was nabbed by Ptolemy and taken to Alexandria, where it was placed in a grand sarcophagus. There have been rumors that the sarcophagus has survived, but it probably went into the drink when a big chunk of Alexandria slid into the Med as a consequence of an earthquake. :’)

Caligula (Gaius) is said to have had Alexander’s sword removed from the coffin and brought to him.
