Kerseblept, who was a son of Kotus I, was an amazing warrior... many times in battles with Macedonian king Philip II. He used to be an honorary citizen of Athens and had the right to participate in the Olympics Games. There is a hypothesis that the golden wreath, found during the excavations, is a prize for his achievement at the legendary games... It is more probable, however, that the wreath is an insignia of honour he received in a battle, the archaeologist said.
