The Ptolemaic Dynasty

Explore the fascinating history of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, which ruled Egypt for over three centuries following Alexander the Great’s conquests. Witness the transformation of Alexandria into a global hub of trade, science, and culture, home to the legendary Great Library and the iconic Pharos Lighthouse. Discover how the early Ptolemies skillfully blended Greek and Egyptian traditions to secure power and expand their influence across the Mediterranean. But not all was prosperous—internal conflicts, dynastic intrigues, and Roman intervention eventually led to the dynasty’s decline. The story culminates with the legendary Cleopatra VII, whose dramatic life and death marked the end of Ptolemaic rule and the beginning of Egypt as a Roman province.
