The theatre of the ancient city of Aigai is located in Vergina, Imathia Prefecture. The theatre and the neighbouring palace form a single building complex designed and built in the second half of the 4th century BC.

Pausanias of Orestis assassinated Philip II of Macedonia [Alexander the Great's father] in 336 bc here.

The Alexandrine Empire was responsible for spreading Hellenistic culture far and wide, including Greek theatre.



Aristotle was one of Alexander's tutors.
