Ptolemaic Pharaohs of Egypt Ptolemy Ii THE MARION COUNTY MANNA PROJECT offers Commentary on the PTOLEMAIC PHARAOHS OF EGYPT PTOLEMY II Listed on page 2 are the Pharaohs of the Ptolemaic Dynasty (regnal dates are approximate). Subse- quent to the death of Alexander the Great (1) in 323 BC, they ruled Egypt (2) from 305 BC until 30 BC, when they were conquered by the Roman Republic (3) just prior to the founding of the Roman Empire in 27 BC. The Septuagint (LXX) (4), the Greek translation of the Old Testament (5), was written by seventy Jewish Translators/Interpreters under royal compulsion during Ptolemy II's reign. That is con- firmed by historian Flavius Josephus (6), who writes that Ptolemy II, desirous to collect every book in the habitable Earth, applied Demetrius Phalereus (7) to the task of organizing an effort with the Jewish High Priests (8) to translate the Jewish books of the Law for his library. Josephus thus places the origins of the Septuagint in the 3rd century BC, when Demetrius and Ptolemy II lived. Accord- ing to Jewish legend, the seventy wrote their translations independently from memory, and the re- sultant works were identical at every letter.

  • Cleopatra II and III: the Queens of Ptolemy VI and VIII As Guarantors of Kingship and Rivals for Power
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Andrea Jördens, Joachim Friedrich Quack (Hg.), Ägypten zwischen innerem Zwist und äußerem Druck. Die Zeit Ptolemaios’ VI. bis VIII. Internationales Symposion Heidelberg 16.-19.9.2007 (Philippika 45), Wiesbaden 2011, S. 58–76 Cleopatra II and III: The queens of Ptolemy VI and VIII as guarantors of kingship and rivals for power Martina Minas-Nerpel Introduction The second half of the Ptolemaic period was marked by power struggles not only among the male rulers of the dynasty, but also among its female members. Starting with Arsinoe II, the Ptolemaic queens had always been powerful and strong-willed and had been a decisive factor in domestic policy. From the death of Ptolemy V Epiphanes onwards, the queens controlled the political developments in Egypt to a still greater extent. Cleopatra II and especially Cleopatra III became all-dominant, in politics and in the ruler-cult, and they were often depicted in Egyptian temple- reliefs—more often than any of her dynastic predecessors and successors. Mother and/or daughter reigned with Ptolemy VI Philometor to Ptolemy X Alexander I, from 175 to 101 BC, that is, for a quarter of the entire Ptolemaic period. Egyptian queenship was complementary to kingship, both in dynastic and Ptolemaic Egypt: No queen could exist without a king, but at the same time the queen was a necessary component of kingship. According to Lana Troy, the pattern of Egyptian queenship “reflects the interaction of male and female as dualistic elements of the creative dynamics ”.1 The king and the queen functioned as the basic duality through which regeneration of the creative power of the kingship was accomplished.

  • The Ptolemies: an Unloved and Unknown Dynasty. Contributions to a Different Perspective and Approach
    THE PTOLEMIES: AN UNLOVED AND UNKNOWN DYNASTY. CONTRIBUTIONS TO A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE AND APPROACH JOSÉ DAS CANDEIAS SALES Universidade Aberta. Centro de História (University of Lisbon). Abstract: The fifteen Ptolemies that sat on the throne of Egypt between 305 B.C. (the date of assumption of basileia by Ptolemy I) and 30 B.C. (death of Cleopatra VII) are in most cases little known and, even in its most recognised bibliography, their work has been somewhat overlooked, unappreciated. Although boisterous and sometimes unloved, with the tumultuous and dissolute lives, their unbridled and unrepressed ambitions, the intrigues, the betrayals, the fratricides and the crimes that the members of this dynasty encouraged and practiced, the Ptolemies changed the Egyptian life in some aspects and were responsible for the last Pharaonic monuments which were left us, some of them still considered true masterpieces of Egyptian greatness. The Ptolemaic Period was indeed a paradoxical moment in the History of ancient Egypt, as it was with a genetically foreign dynasty (traditions, language, religion and culture) that the country, with its capital in Alexandria, met a considerable economic prosperity, a significant political and military power and an intense intellectual activity, and finally became part of the world and Mediterranean culture. The fifteen Ptolemies that succeeded to the throne of Egypt between 305 B.C. (date of assumption of basileia by Ptolemy I) and 30 B.C. (death of Cleopatra VII), after Alexander’s death and the division of his empire, are, in most cases, very poorly understood by the public and even in the literature on the topic.

  • Depiction of Cleopatra III (Possibly Her Mother), Assimilated Into Isis
    FRANCK GODDIO UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGIST PTOLEMAIC QUEEN One of the IEASM’s most beautiful finds in Thonis-Heracleion is this Greco-Egyptian-style statue from the Ptolemaic Period. The queen in dark stone is clad in the traditional gown identifying female rulers with Isis. The hair, its plaited strands modelled with exceptional care, is encircled by a dia- dem adorned with the uraeus of kings. The eye inlays, which personalized the face, have disappeared. Pharaonic style with different artistic influence The effigy, which is larger than life- sized, depicts a female figure standing, with arms down by her sides and the left foot slightly forward. This position respects the traditional Pharaonic style, but the modelling of the surface and of the physiognomy bears witness to a different artistic influence. In her left hand the queen is holding the ankh sign (the sign of life) and on her chest her garment bears the ‘Isis knot’. She is dressed in a fine chemise with a scooped neckline. Determined look of a middle-aged woman The ovoid face grows more slender towards the chin. The mouth, with its carefully modelled lips, is thin and tight, giving the individual a stern, determined look. The large, almond- shaped eyes are hollow. The creases at the neck emphasize that the woman is middle-aged. The hair, arranged into long, rolled-up curls, falls down the back and sides. Above the forehead, the locks are shorter, leaving an open triangle on the forehead above the nose. The hair is encircled by a broad, flat dia- dem. In the middle of the forehead is a uraeus, rearing-up.

  • Governance in Ptolemaic Egypt: from Raphia to Cleopatra Vii (217 - 31 B.C.), Class-Based ‘Colonialism’? 1
    GOVERNANCE IN PTOLEMAIC EGYPT: FROM RAPHIA TO CLEOPATRA VII (217 - 31 B.C.), CLASS-BASED ‘COLONIALISM’? 1 J Adler (Stellenbosch University) During the first hundred years of its existence, Ptolemaic Egypt was ruled by means of a system based on race under which the Greco-Macedonian minority oppressed and exploited the indigenous Egyptian majority. As an imperialist state, established after the subjection of Persian-ruled Egypt by Alexander the Great, it was ruled by foreigners for their own benefit alone. This situation changed during the second century when Egyptian resistance, which took the form of open rebellion after seminal events relating to the battle of Raphia, came to a head during the rule of Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II. This paper suggests that, far from being a demented fool bent on personal revenge, this king was a shrewd politician who understood that the days of Greco-Macedonian domination were numbered. He took the necessary (if extreme) steps to safeguard his throne and dynasty. Ptolemaic Egypt was converted into a colony where power and influence no longer depended on race alone, but also on class, a situation demanded by the political realities of the time. A result of this re-assessment of Euergetes’s actions and political acumen is a drastic revision, or even overturning, of the traditional evaluation of his position as statesman vis-à-vis that of the early Ptolemies, which requires an answer to one further question: why has he been denied such recognition up to now? 1.

  • The Circulation of Ptolemaic Silver in Seleucid Coele Syria and Phoenicia from Antiochus Iii to the Maccabean Revolt: Monetary Policies and Political Consequences
    ELECTRUM * Vol. 26 (2019): 9–23 doi: 10.4467/20800909EL.19.001.11204 www.ejournals.eu/electrum THE CIRCULatION OF PtoLEMAIC SILVER IN SELEUCID COELE SYRIA AND PHOENICIA FROM ANTIOCHUS III to THE MACCABEAN REVOLT: MonetaRY POLICIES AND POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES Catharine Lorber Abstract: This paper examines the circulation of Ptolemaic silver in the closed monetary zone of Seleucid Coele Syria and Phoenicia. No new silver coinage entered the zone under Antiochus III and Seleucus IV, though hoards were deposited in the Transjordan and eastern Judah in the early years of Antiochus IV. Trade between Phoenicia and Egypt is excluded as an explanatory factor, but the patterns are consistent with Josephus’ account of the dowry of Cleopatra I and Tobiad tax farming. In the 160s BCE fresh Ptolemaic silver began to enter the closed monetary zone, with the earliest finds in Judah, Samaria, and “southern Palestine.” This new influx, like the didrachms “of an uncertain era,” may represent a subsidy from Ptolemy VI to the Maccabees and other dissidents from Seleucid rule. Keywords: closed monetary zone, Ptolemaic silver coinage, dowry, Tobiad, tax farming, Judah, Antiochus III, Antiochus IV, Ptolemy V, Ptolemy VI. When Antiochus III seized Phoenicia and Palestine from Ptolemy V, the region com- prised a closed monetary zone in which Ptolemaic coinage was the sole legal tender. Somewhat surprisingly, Antiochus III maintained the closed monetary zone for precious metal coinage, which in practice meant silver coinage. This curious situation was de- fined by Georges Le Rider in 1995 through the study of coin hoards.1 The hoards reveal that for nearly half a century the only silver coinage circulating in Seleucid Coele Syria and Phoenicia was Ptolemaic.

    CLEOPATRA V TRYPHÆNA AND THE GENEALOGY OF THE LATER PTOLEMIES* According to a fragment of Porphyry, a daughter of Ptolemy X Alexan- der I and Berenice III, of unknown name, accompanied her parents at the time of her father’s deposition and flight in 881. We are told nothing else about her. This paper explores the hypothesis that she was the future Cleopatra V Tryphæna. The discussion touches on several other uncer- tain points in the female genealogy of the later Ptolemies. 1. THE NATURE OF THE SOURCES The evidence for the genealogy of the later Ptolemies falls into two classes. The classical authors provide the bulk of our sources. These works give us a complete genealogy of the line of succession down to Ptolemy X. We are also given the paternity of the remaining rulers — Berenice III, Ptolemy XI Alexander II, Ptolemy XII Auletes, Berenice IV, Cleopatra VII and her brothers — but in none of these cases are we told the names of their mothers. Moreover, much of the classical evi- dence for the later Ptolemies is presented incidentally to the author’s main purpose, not all these authors are fully reliable, nor are they all mutually consistent. Two of the principal sources — Pompeius Trogus and Porphyry — survive only in fragmentary and redacted form, in the works of compilers (Justin and Eusebius, respectively) who lived and wrote several centuries later. The second class of evidence comes from the contemporary inscrip- tions and papyri discovered in Egypt over the last two centuries. These have provided us with a highly refined chronology of changes in the political regime (at least, as seen locally), and have allowed us to track in fine detail changes in royal titulary and the evolution of the royal * I am very grateful to Prof.

Sus circunstancias fueron, no obstante, diferentes y sus períodos de gobierno contienen numerosos elementos diferenciales respecto del gobierno de sus homólogos masculinos. Para conocer mejor a estas gobernantes y la manera en que ejercieron su poder, estudiaremos los casos de las reinas-faraón más conocidas y plausibles: Meret-Neit, Neferusobek, Hatshepsut y Tausert. A pesar de que la visión del monarca estaba indudablemente vinculada a lo masculino, estas mujeres lograron hacerse con el poder del reino, y para ello las estrategias que tuvieron que seguir hacen que sus reinados se distingan sustancialmente de otros.
