Alexander & the Macedonian setting
Review the Alexander and Macedonian armour editions as starting points for character and equipment development. Agree references, fit, construction and the degree of cinematic interpretation.
Macedonia, Alexander & the successor kingdoms
Alexander the Great & the Hellenistic World
Historical production support
Develop the world of Alexander, his campaigns and the kingdoms of his successors through armour, costume, objects and setting. Archaeopolis connects its Macedonian equipment editions with research and production development for the particular story.

Research to physical production
What we can
develop together.
The successors & Hellenistic kingdoms
Frame research around the specific dynasty, region and date, including Ptolemaic, Seleucid and Antigonid settings. Use that brief to develop costume, props and visual distinctions.
Court, campaign & everyday life
Create coordinated object and costume briefs for military, ceremonial and domestic scenes. Extend the visual work beyond armour to vessels, textiles, furnishing and supporting props.
Making & production coordination
Combine collection review with specialist commissions, adaptations and fittings. Define lead times, packing, installation and supervision around the production schedule.
Historical worldbuilding
A shared reference
for every department.
The Alexander and Macedonian photographs document specific collection editions. A later successor kingdom requires a separate selection and research brief; the same equipment is not automatically appropriate across the whole Hellenistic period.
Planning the work
Define the scope.
Then prepare the production.
Existing pieces
Rental depends on the selected object, dates, condition, fit and intended use. Archive photographs show the collection’s work; they do not guarantee stock.
New commissions
Agree the references, dimensions, materials, finish and schedule before fabrication. Specialist making is developed with the appropriate collaborators.
Support in Greece & abroad
Research, fittings, packing, transport coordination and on-site support are scoped around the project. Share the location, dates and required action with the first brief.
