  • Hellenistic Egypt

    Roger Bagnall, Jean BingenBOOKHellenistic Egypt2007

    The nineteen chapters of this book cover a wide variety of topics concerned with the Macedonian monarchy of the Ptolemies, which ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great until the Roman empire, and which rested on military control based on a Greek and Macedonian military force settled on the land. The first five chapters examine ways in which Ptolemy I, Ptolemy III, and Cleopatra VII sought political legitimacy and support in this multicultural soci…

  • Cleopatra, the Diadem and the Image

    Jean BingenCHAPTERHellenistic Egypt2007

    This chapter on Cleopatra begins with her image in Roman literature, which is very negative and sees her as a threat to Rome. But that image dates from the aftermath of the final struggle between Octavian (later Augustus) and Mark Antony and does not reflect the real situation in which Cleopatra found herself. She needed to exercise power in Alexandria without flouting the Macedonian tradition which required a male king; her reign therefore saw a…

  • Two Royal Ordinances of the First Century and the Alexandrians

    Jean BingenCHAPTERHellenistic Egypt2007

    This chapter concerns an inscription dated to 41 BCE, which contains two orders issued by Cleopatra VII and Ptolemy XV (Caesarion). These protect the interests of Alexandrian landholders in nomes in the Delta against what they claim are excessive tax exactions that go beyond what the queen had ordered. Cleopatra, faced with an external crisis produced by the defeat of the forces of Brutus and Cassius at Philippi and the ascendancy of Mark Antony,…

  • Greek Economy and Egyptian Society in the Third Century

    Jean BingenCHAPTERHellenistic Egypt2007

    The Macedonian conquest of Egypt in 332 BCE and the following Ptolemaic monarchy brought Greek economic habits to a country with only limited previous exposure to them, particularly a high degree of monetisation of economic activity. The Egyptian economy was largely agricultural, with a significant part managed by the estates of temples, which in turn were closely connected to the civil administration. The fiscalisation of activities like beekeep…

  • The Cavalry Settlers of the Herakleopolite in the First Century

    Jean BingenCHAPTERHellenistic Egypt2007

    In Ptolemaic Egypt the first century bc constitutes a period relatively poor in papyri, although the documents from the Herakleopolite are gradually improving this situation. This scarcity has certainly impaired our vision of what the realm was by this time. Dynastic events and the increasing influence of Rome are so prominent that they tend to obscure the importance of a certain number of social developments that we would like to clarify. The re…

  • Conclusion

    Jean BingenCHAPTERHellenistic Egypt2007

    ‘Hellenistic Egypt’, though an apparently unproblematic pair of words, is in reality a troubling combination. It corresponds to a tiny slice of Egypt's history, barely three hundred years. After having been an isolated and passive unit in the larger entity of the Achaemenid empire, Egypt became, by virtue of its economic potential and human density, the lever of the power that a dynasty arriving from the north tried to exercise in the Eastern Med…

  • Ptolemy I and the Quest for Legitimacy

    Jean BingenCHAPTERHellenistic Egypt2007

    Ptolemy I Soter founded one of the first round of Hellenistic states. In taking the title of king, he had to communicate to those whom he wanted to follow and accept him a concept of monarchy they found intelligible and acceptable. In the case of Greek settlers, the concept of kingship had deep roots but a problematic status in contemporary thought. For the Macedonians, it was closely linked to the legacy of Philip II and Alexander the Great, and…

  • The Structural Tensions of Ptolemaic Society

    Jean BingenCHAPTERHellenistic Egypt2007

    This chapters explores the difficulty of writing history about Hellenistic Egypt from the extremely patchy and discontinuous papyrological documentation, which rich though it seems has far more gaps than areas covered. It looks at some of the difficulties that the Greeks faced in trying to create a coherent society in Egypt through the lens of three bodies of documents: the Zenon archive; an amnesty decree from the late second century BCE from th…

  • The Dynastic Politics of Cleopatra Vii

    Jean BingenCHAPTERHellenistic Egypt2007

    Picking up the themes of chapters 3 and 4, this chapter looks at Cleopatra not in terms of the Roman depiction of her but in the context of the (often murderous) dynastic politics of the Ptolemaic monarchy. In this light, Cleopatra can be seen as trying to revive the fortunes of this kingdom even in a world dominated by Rome. After the death of her father, Ptolemy XII, Cleopatra faced repeated threats to her rule, particularly to her sole rule. C…

  • Normality and Distinctiveness in the Epigraphy of Greek and Roman Egypt

    Jean BingenCHAPTERHellenistic Egypt2007

    Although most of the evidence for the history of Ptolemaic Egypt comes from texts on papyrus, Egypt has also produced a large number of inscriptions on stone, the type of document that makes up most of the surviving evidence in other parts of the ancient Greek world. This chapter examines the nature of this epigraphical evidence from Egypt and asks what contribution it makes. There the Greek inscriptions co-exist with a native epigraphical tradit…

  • Greeks and Egyptians According to PSI V 502

    Jean BingenCHAPTERHellenistic Egypt2007

    This chapter offers an anthropological and sociological exploration of a single document from the Zenon archive, concerning the large estate given by Ptolemy II to his finance minister Apollonios and managed by successive local agents of Apollonios. Egyptian tenants on part of this land, faced with a sudden change in the method of estimating their rent imposed by the estate management, which went against normal Egyptian farming practice and impos…

  • The Revenue Laws Papyrus

    Jean BingenCHAPTERHellenistic Egypt2007

    The “Revenue Laws” of Ptolemy II Philadelphos are a cluster of 7-8 ordinances, collected in two related but separate papyrus rolls found in the late nineteenth century and usually treated as if they were a whole. They concern taxation and monopolies (especially of vegetable oil manufacture and banks) in the middle of Ptolemy II's reign (259 BCE). They formed the foundation of the view of the Ptolemaic economy as centrally directed and planned by …

  • Hellenistic Egypt

    Roger Bagnall, Jean BingenBOOKHellenistic Egypt2007

    Hellenistic Egypt was a society created by Macedonian rule of the ancient civilisation of Egypt. It is framed by Alexander the Great at one end and Cleopatra VII at the other. This book sums up a lifetime of Jean Bingen's work on understanding how this state and its monarchy were created and sustained, how Greeks and Egyptians formed separate and yet connected parts of the society, and how the peculiar circumstances of the Ptolemaic kingdom creat…

  • Jean d'Ormesson and the International Council for Philosophy and Humanistic Studies

    Open AccessJean BingenARTICLEDiogenes2006

    Over many long years, whenever a modest and not quite disinterested emissary of a member Association of the International Council of Philosophy and the Humanistic Studies came to visit Jean d'Ormesson at his headquarters in the rue Miollis, patiently clearing his path through mountains of dossiers and brochures, he did not, unlike the title of this paper, associate Jean d'Ormesson with the CIPSH - he simply identified the man before him with the …
