sartorialadventure:Crown from the tomb of Philip II of Macedon (382–336 BCE) and the Thracian princess Meda of Odessa (died 336 BCE) in Aigai, Macedonia. Known as the crown of Meda. According to N. G. L. Hammond, when Philip died, Meda committed suicide so that she would follow Philip to Hades. The people of Macedonia, who were not used to such honours to their kings by their consorts, buried her with him at the Great Tumuli of Vergina, in a separate room. The second larnax found in the tomb might belong to her. -- source link
