I read some speculation that it is the tomb of, Olympias, the mother of Alexander. The dates - as cited here - would make sense. Although she was executed - stoned to death - by political rivals, she may have been given a royal tomb. She would have been a royal and prestigious figure, simply because of being the mother of Alexander.
