Krátky popis
A compelling history of the Ptolemies, the decline of Egypt, and
the rising power of the Roman Empire &,nbsp, The Ptolemaic era,
Egypt’s last and one of its longest dynasties, was in many ways a
gilded age. Its early rulers restored and even expanded Egyptian
power. Over a span of 300 years the period was witness to
intellectual enlightenment, imaginative state-building, and some of
the most memorable characters in ancient history, including
Alexander the Great and Cleopatra VII.&,nbsp, But these
Macedonian Greek pharaohs embarked on ruinous warfare, faced
rebellion, and descended into murderous family feuds. Increasingly
reliant on the dizzying rise of Roman power, Ptolemaic Egypt was
finally annexed by Augustus in 30 BCE. How did such an ancient
civilization come to this? &,nbsp, Exploring the lives of the
Ptolemaic pharaohs, de la Bédoyere&,nbsp,reveals the jealousy,
greed, and murderous ambition in their Egypt and the legendary city
of Alexandria, their capital.This is a lively, accessible account
of Ancient Egypt’s last days—and of the new power rising in its
place.
