SUMMARY:ISAW Library Events: Cleopatra’s inheritance: Ptolemaic Egypt revisited
DTSTART:20240912T213000Z
DTEND:20240912T230000Z
DESCRIPTION:This lecture is the first in the ISAW Libraries events ser
 ies for the 2024-2025 academic year. It will take place in person at I
 SAW. Registration is required\; click through for the registration lin
 k. The fabled reign and tragic death of Cleopatra loom large in the We
 stern imagination\, but they can only be properly understood in the co
 ntext of the queen’s inheritance: the preceding three centuries of P
 tolemaic rule over the Nile Valley. In advance of the publication of a
  major new history of the period\, Egyptologist and best-selling autho
 r Toby Wilkinson revisits Ptolemaic Egypt\, with its dazzling mix of G
 reek and Egyptian cultures\, exploring how Egypt under the Ptolemies b
 ecame the greatest of the Hellenistic kingdoms.
