Philippeion Description
At Olympia, near the west wall of the Altis, we can see the Philippeion, a circular structure begun by Philip II of Macedon in 338 B.C. and completed by his son Alexander, for which Leochares carved five chryselephantine statues of the Macedonian royal family.

The treasury was offered by Philip after his victory at the battle of Chaeronia.
