I just found your interesting pages! and will link back to this informative page on the Alexander statue from my page of photos taken of this at the museum in Nov. 2004, and specifically the photo at http://www.pbase.com/andrys/image/37141205 I had seen this as 'Manisa' elsewhere but that must be a variant on 'Magnesias' ? I would be interested in any other information you have on this find (in general there or specifically) and on Menas, if you hae time. Thanks! - Andrys Hi, Phil.

One question on Alexander and Christianity: Is there any ground in the affirmation that the traditional age of Christ's death was thougt to be when he was 33 after Alexander, who had also died at that same age? And that the general belief of the time is that therefore 33 was the "ideal age" for a hero to die? Thanks for your great blog.
