EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a copper engraving from the 17th century, depicting Ptolemy VI, also known as Ptolemy Philometor. As one of the notable rulers in ancient Egypt, he reigned as King from 180 to 145 B. C. The medallion featured in this artwork was created around 176 B. C. , capturing the regal profile of this influential pharaoh. Ptolemy VI's reign marked an important era in Egyptian history, characterized by the fusion of North African and Hellenistic cultures. This unique blend is evident in his appearance on the medallion, with distinct Egyptian features combined with Greek influences. The intricate copper engraving beautifully highlights every detail of Ptolemy VI's face and attire. An inscription accompanying the image further adds to its historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - a glimpse into the life and power of an ancient ruler who left an indelible mark on Egypt's rich heritage.
