Hawass on the world of Cleopatra (2)

THE SERIES CONTINUES: The world of Cleopatra — II. Zahi Hawass continues his four-part series of articles on the world of the ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra (Ahram Online).

This installment surveys the reigns of Ptolemy I to Ptolemy X and adds some comments on Ptolemaic architecture.

I noted the first essay in the series here. And follow the links from there for PaleoJudaica posts on the Ptolemaic empire, including its coins and its importance for biblical and ancient Jewish studies.
