About that legend, I've never heard of it, but I think he was 33 when he died.

I seem to remember reading that Polikos the younger out of spite for his loss of his Iranian wife (during the whole Susa marriage thing) put a coin in the hand of Alexander when the Macedonians were filing past his coffin. Boy talk about eternal spite!

i've heard this too. He'd be empty handed anyway he went, but he willed that his hands should be put out of the coffin so everyone could see that he was going empty handed.

But... couldn't his hands be just as empty if they were inside the coffin?
