Macedonians in Trousers!
From the Greek Institute of Venice's astounding 14th-century Alexander Romance, ΑΕΙΒ 5. (Every single page of this precious manuscript, in high-quality jpg's, here.)
You can see Nectanebo working his magic, the founding of Alexandria, the meeting with the Gymnosophists, and (below) the building of the Brazen Walls to keep Gog & Magog out (in viewer here). (Compare John Rylands Armenian Ms. 3, anno 1544 here.)
