Our History
This kingdom, Macedon, became a great power under the leadership of Philip II and his son, Alexander the Great. The Macedonians of this era were likely Illyrians, an ancient people who were probably the distant ancestors of the present-day Albanians. By 148 B.C., Macedonia was conquered by the Roman Empire and became a Roman province.
