What is the significance of identifying the Gradishte site as the ancient city of Lyncus, and what immediate implications does this discovery have for our understanding of ancient Macedonia?

Archaeologists initially believed the Gradishte site in North Macedonia was a Roman-era military outpost. However, recent findings, including an Alexander the Great-era coin and LiDAR scans revealing a seven-acre acropolis with a theatre and textile workshop, indicate it's the ancient city of Lyncus, capital of Lyncestis. This city held a key trade route position and was the birthplace of Eurydice, Alexander the Great's grandmother.
