Pydna

Archaeologists have said it’s more likely that Olympias was buried alone, and cite multiple inscriptions that place her burial site in the city of Pydna, in northern Greece.

Such was the effect of the battle of Pydna, however, that he was at once compelled to hand over Egypt to the conquerors, and that country became a Roman protectorate.

He died one year before the crowning victory of Pydna.

One dark night, through a secret doorway in the city wall, a little party crept softly out of Pydna and went down toward the port.

However, he was crushed in the following year at Pydna by the praetor Metellus, and Macedonia was recovered.
