Philip II

Philip II
The greatest statesman and general of his time, Philip II laid the foundation for a Macedonian military power that would conquer and Hellenize much of the regions of the Mediterranean, southern Europe, and the Middle East. His reorganization of the army and use of the heavy phalanx formation made him the master of Greece.
