Stories about kings and brave soldiers, about children who played in the streets of their neighborhoods many, many years ago, and about Alexander the Great and his mother Olympias.

This book takes us on a journey to the past of Macedonia and Thessaloniki, thanks to 25 special objects, selected from the thousands on display in the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki.

We will meet men and women who lived before us, discover secrets hidden in the soil, and learn about our own history, woven from the stories of ancient people.
