Alexander the great sitting on the chest of an eagle - Apotheosis of an emperor

Alexander the great sitting on the chest of an eagle (or griffin ?).The eagle holds two deers in his claws.
On each wing of the eagle we see a madaillon with the head of a young woman.
The head of the eagle is surrounded by a circle, reminding of a nimbus.
