An international team of archaeologists, led by Antonis Bartsiokas with Democritus University of Thrace, in Greece, has uncovered evidence that a tunic found in one of the Royal Tombs at Vergina once belonged to Alexander the Great.

In his paper published in the Journal of Field Archaeology, Bartsiokas outlines the evidence surrounding the purple and white tunic and also claims that he and his team have definitively identified the remains of three of the people entombed at the famous burial site.

Prior research has suggested that several members of Alexander the Great's family were laid to rest in the Royal Tombs at Vergina—the gravesite of the famous Macedonian king is not known, though it is most certainly not the Royal Tombs at Vergina. Such findings have made the site in Greece famous. In this new effort, Bartsiokas and colleagues took a new look at three of the tombs at the site, which have been informally named Tomb I, II and III.
