Someone should put it on and go LARPing with it.

It will probably give magical powers to whoever is wearing it.

lol - I misread that as “Virginia” and began wondering if Alexander had somehow managed to cross the ocean as part of his adventures!

Maybe some (G)re(A)(T) DNA.

If I could have found a way to put the (C) in there, I would have.

Thats because his foam armor didn’t look bad ass enough with the tunic to justify magic powers.

I applaud archeologists and I admire their work but most of what they say, what they “find” is supposition, there is almost no way to say with absolute certainty that the garment was Alexanders, it’s fun to believe that it was, a lot of people enjoy make believe these days, so honestly whats the harm, right?

What’s the difference between archaeology and grave desecration?

"Vergina"

Sounds like the hillbilly pronunciation of a similar word.

Purple use to be the color of royalty because of how expensive the dye was. Then some fellow accidentally discovered how to make purple dye cheaply from coal tar.
