The Search for Alexander: An Exhibition

I bought another book: The Search for Alexander:An Exhibition. This is a remarkable book which catalogues all the items that were on display in the exhibition in 1981. This exhibition ran from November 16, 1980 at the National Art Gallery in Washington, DC to May 16, 1982 in San Francisco. I missed all of this then as I had no interest in or knowledge of Alexander at that time, too busy doing "my own thing". So it is interesting to me now to realize all that was happening at that time regarding the discoveries in both Vergina, and in the nation of Greece regarding these artifacts. It traveled through several major cities, Chicago, Boston, SF, DC.
Contents of the publication include: Alexander and his Heritage by Nicholas Yalouris, An Outline of Macedonian HIstory and Art by Katerina Rhomiopoulou, and The Royal Tombs at Vergina by Manolis Andronikos.
