| | History of Egypt - Past, Present and Future - Saint Takla Haymanot COC - Alexandria - Arab Republic of Egypt |
 | | The capital of the Ptolemaic state was Alexandria—a cosmopolitan city with a large Greek and Jewish population—which became one of the great commercial and intellectual centers of the ancient world. | | | Partly because native Egyptian rulers had a reduced role in affairs of state during the Ptolemaic regime, they periodically demonstrated their dissatisfaction by open revolts, all of which were, however, quickly suppressed. | | | Although the 5th Dynasty maintained prosperity with extensive foreign trade and military incursions into Asia, signs of decreasing royal authority became apparent in the swelling of the bureaucracy and the enhanced power of noadministrators. |

Cleopatra VII was the first Ptolemaic ruler to learn to speak Egyptian. |

| | Ptolemaic dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Ptolemaic queens, some of whom were the sisters of their husbands, were usually called Cleopatra, Arsinoe or Berenice. | | | The Ptolemaic dynasty was a Greek royal family which ruled over Egypt for nearly 300 years, from 305 BC to 30 BC. | | | (Hence the history of Ptolemaic Egypt can be confusing for novice readers.) The most famous member of the line was the last queen, Cleopatra VII, known for her role in the Roman political battles between Julius Caesar and Pompey, and later between Octavian and Mark Antony. |

| | The phenomenon of incestuous marriage in the Ptolemaic house is no doubt something that had complex causation, and some of the rationales might well have become apparent to the Ptolemies themselves only after the fact, if at all. | | | Another reason may be that there were times and political circumstances during which the Ptolemies preferred to “marry in” rather than risk entangling themselves with one of the other Greco-Macedonian dynasties such as the Seleukids or Antigonids, with whom they were often at war. | | | Ptolemaic kings did not “break” a taboo by marrying their sisters. |

| | This history of land tenure under the Ptolemies explores the relationship between the new Ptolemaic state and the ancient traditions of landholding and tenure. | | | Drawing for the first time on both Greek and demotic papyri, as well as hieroglyphic inscriptions and theories taken from the social sciences, Professor Manning argues that the traditional central state 'despotic' model of the Egyptian economy is insufficient. | | | The result is a subtler picture of the complex relationship between the demands of the new state and the ancient, locally-organized social structure of Egypt. |
