Amyntas IV of Macedon

Amyntas IV was a member of the Argead dynasty, the royal house that had ruled Macedonia for generations. In 359 BC he became titular king — the title was his, but the power was not. His reign was brief, a formality in a year of upheaval, and he remains one of the faintest shadows in the Macedonian succession, a name that marked a transition rather than an era.
