The Vergina Sun proper has sixteen triangular rays. The name “Vergina Sun” became widely used after the archaeological excavations in and around the small town of Vergina, in northern Greece, during the late 1970s. In older references, the name “Argead Star” or “Star of the Argeadai” is used for the Sun as the royal symbol of the dynasty of Macedon. There it was depicted on a golden larnax found in a 4th-century BC royal tomb belonging to either Philip II or Philip III of Macedon, the father and half-brother of Alexander the Great, respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"GreekRoots","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60241550901582,"sku":"MI-MD-03777018-49384GP","price":78.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1058\/1999\/6494\/files\/MI-MD-03777018.jpg?v=1785275305","url":"https:\/\/greekroots.shop\/products\/greek-key-vergina-sun-pendant-sterling-silver-and-gold-plated","provider":"GreekRoots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
