Antonis Bartsiokas of the Democritus University of Thrace claims to be a tunic found in the Royal Tombs at Vergina .

The material was found in a golden casket alongside a male skeleton and a golden wreath in a chamber dubbed Tomb II .

Experts have long debated the true identity of the individuals buried at the tombs.

Some argue that Alexander the Great was buried with his brother Philip III Arrhidaeus .
