From the category of Historical Horoscopes, and ancient ones at that, we can hardly do better than a natal chart for Alexander the Great, namesake of Alexandria, Egypt, and a fabled leader born July 19, 0356 BCE in Pella, Macedonia where his father, Philip II, was born. Its antiquity means that labeling the chart "speculative" is advised.
Note: Try as I might, I cannot induce my SolarFire software to accept coordinates for Pella, Macedonia so I'm using what it gives me; the correct location is listed on the chart so perhaps you can do better!
Below you see the horoscope for Alexander that I'm favoring of late although naturally you may have other ideas. Any astro-notes I have for this chart are penned on the image for you, and the Prenatal Eclipse Saros Series ("PE") into which Baby Alexander was born is not available information, as far as I can ascertain. Yet we know that the solar eclipse manifested in the sign of Taurus the Bull with all the positive and negative traits that the Venus-ruled sign may bring with it, possessiveness being one.
Now obviously, no one then was aware of power-craving Pluto which here conjuncts the Aries Point, a Cardinal World Point of Fame, Recognition, and Fortune; this is a major stand-out feature of his chart:

btw: Some sources give his birth date as July 20, 0356. jc
