EDITORS COMMENTS
In this ancient portrait, we behold Ptolemy I Soter I, the illustrious Macedonian general under Alexander the Great who ascended to the throne of Egypt in 323 BC. Known as Ptolemy Lagides and the founder of the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Dynasty, he assumed the title of Pharaoh in 305/4 BC. The image portrays Ptolemy in a profile view, donning armor that showcases his military background. A small crocodile sits atop his head, symbolizing his rule over Egypt, a powerful representation of the god Sobek, the deity of the Nile and the pharaoh's protector. The crocodile's presence further solidifies Ptolemy's connection to the land and its people. Adorned in a ruff collar and ermine trim, Ptolemy's regal attire exudes an air of sophistication and power. The tower in the background, shrouded in smoke, may symbolize Alexandria, the newly founded capital city of the Ptolemaic Kingdom. Although anachronistic elements, such as the armor and the European-inspired collar, may detract from the historical accuracy of this image, they serve to emphasize the fusion of Greek and Egyptian cultures that characterized the Ptolemaic period. Ptolemy I Soter I, the savior, ruled Egypt from 323 to 283 BC, leaving an indelible mark on the ancient world. This evocative portrait invites us to explore the rich history of the Ptolemaic Kingdom and its enigmatic founder.
