Dynastic Genealogies and Funerary Monuments
When we compare the genealogical strategies of the Ptolemies, Seleukids, and Hasmoneans, those of the Ptolemies and the Hasmoneans display striking parallels, while the Seleukids followed a different policy. This article explores one facet of the parallels, the combined use of funerary monuments, festivals, and narratives (mythical and historical) to create prestigious dynastic ancestors. We commence with Alexander the Great and Nectanebo II, the…
The Integration of Indigenous Elites and the Development of poleis in the Ptolemaic and Seleucid Empires
This chapter focuses on Babylon and Egypt and offers a systematic comparison of the role of the local elites in the temple administration within the Seleucid and Ptolemaic governmental structures. While in both regions temples were the “centers of public life” before the Macedonian conquest, the traditional religious role of the king offered to the Ptolemies in Egyptian temples granted them a unique position that was not paralleled by the Seleuci…
Une nourrice égyptienne chez les Lagides
L’histoire de la lignée des Grands-Prêtres de Ptah de Memphis de la période ptolémaïque est marquée par un mythe historiographique, celle d’une alliance matrimoniale avec la dynastie lagide. Cet article présente la stèle funéraire inédite d’une parente des Grands-Prêtres de Ptah exerçant la fonction de nourrice royale au IIème siècle. Cette charge permet-elle d’expliquer la présence d’une anthroponymie féminine grecque dans la lignée ? Cette resp…

The Satrap Stela
This article explores the relevance of the Middle Ground theory for the study of relationships between the Egyptian priesthood and the Macedonian kings. This concept will then be applied to the interpretation of one document in particular, the Satrap Stela. It suggests that the Middle Ground concept allows the identification of the Persian ruler mentioned in the document as Xerxes, Great King of the Second Persian Wars, and supports an interpreta…
Egypt, Ptolemaic period
After the battle of Issus (333 bce ) and the defeat of the Persian king Darius III, Alexander the Great entered Egypt in 332. This was the beginning of the Ptolemaic period, named after Ptolemy, son of Lagos, who succeeded Alexander in 323 bce , first as satrap, and then as formal ruler of Egypt in 305. Ptolemy thus became the founder of the dynasty that ruled Egypt until the Roman conquest by Octavian (30 bce ).
La monnaie de bronze lagide et les temples égyptiens
Le système monétaire de l'Égypte ptolémaïque, instauré par Ptolémée I, était composé de pièces d'or, d'argent et de bronze, ces dernières n'ayant eu qu'une valeur fiduciaire. Alors qu'il réforma le système fiscal, Ptolémée II (284-246 av. J.-C.) imposa le paiement en monnaie de bronze d'un certain nombre de taxes dont il accorda une partie des revenus aux temples. Le clergé disposa dès lors de monnaie de bronze. Or, étant donné que de nombreux Ég…
A Religious Continuity between the Dynastic and Ptolemaic Periods? Self-Representation and Identity of Egyptian Priests in the Ptolemaic Period (332–30BCE)
For many Greek and Roman visitors to Egypt, the continuity of religious life between the Pharaonic and Hellenistic periods seemed obvious. During the Ptolemaic period, the social composition of the priesthood in Egyptian temples underwent a sweeping change due to the increasing control of the temples by the royal administration. The author obtained a concrete information on the family origin or the precise functions of Egyptian priests through se…
Une première mention d’Hippalos, stratège de la Thébaïde
O. Mus. Hist. nat. Lyon Inv. 807 constitue la partie inférieure de O. Ashm. Shelt. 42. Memorandum adressé à l'administration (Diospolis Magna, IIe siècle avant J.-C.). Le texte concerne une affaire liée à l'armée et on y trouve une onomastique juive

Rḫ-nswt
It is established that the aulic title rḫ-nswt, well known since the Old Kingdom, disappeared in the beginning of the ptolemaic era. However, several inscriptions of the Graeco-Roman Period attest that it is still used at that time. For the major part, the documentation comes from Panopolis. The title appears in religious sequences and does not indicate a link, honorific or real, with the king. It seems to be the sign of a new acceptation of rḫ-n…
Identités et représentations dans l’Egypte ptolémaïque
Les études récentes ont révélé le « double-visage » de l’Egypte ptolémaïque. Le multiculturalisme apparaît différemment selon la nature des sources. Les sources grecques présentent des officiers de l’Etat gréco-macédonien alors que les sources égyptiennes décrivent des prêtres indigènes. Dans plusieurs cas, il s’agit cependant des mêmes personnes. Le but de cet article est d’étudier cette dualité
