Egypt Hellenistic Inscription Medallion North African Pharaoh Profile
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a medallion of Ptolemy VIII, also known as Ptolemy Euergetes II, the King of Egypt from 145 to 116 B. C. The image is a copper engraving dating back to the 17th century and offers a glimpse into the ancient world of Egypt's powerful rulers. Ptolemy VIII was an influential figure in Egyptian history, and this medallion captures his regal profile with remarkable detail. Despite being incorrectly identified as Ptolemy VII on the engraving, it still holds immense historical value. The medallion depicts a proud and stoic pharaoh, adorned with intricate inscriptions that symbolize his authority and lineage. His royal attire reflects both North African and Hellenistic influences, showcasing the diverse cultural blend that characterized ancient Egypt during this period. As we gaze upon this artifact from over two millennia ago, we are transported back to a time when dynasties ruled over vast empires. It serves as a reminder of the grandeur and sophistication achieved by civilizations long gone.
