King Philip received an elaborate burial because first and foremost he was a king. He was also a king that used military genius to unite the Greek city-states. He did so by changing the traditional military strategy. He used pikes that were 13 feet long and his formation was changed to be more forceful. He also used a catapult of sorts to be able to get past the walls that some Greek city-states were protected by. He used gold and silver from his conquests to move farther. He united the greek city-states except for Sparta. He was also a lenient conqueror that did not force tribute. He united them instead.
His burial was elaborate. He had a tomb with an entrance, and he was buried with his wife Cleopatra, and in the same fancy tomb, his son
