Dr. Maria Nilsson from the University of Gothenburg (Sweden) put forward in his work a new version of the events since diadochuses in Egypt.
Thus, according to Nilsson, the period after the death of Alexander the Great, wife of Ptolemy II Philadelphus Arsinoe II ruled the country as a female pharaoh.
Their findings to the researcher based on the study’s unique corona, as well as Egyptian reliefs. Hitherto, historians have not reached the same conclusion with respect to the enormous influence of Arsinoe, and the deification of the queen.
Nilsson believes that the symbolism of the crown can be concluded according to which Arsinoe II was simply equal to its status as a spouse (who was also her brother) and deified in their lifetime. That’s because it bore the title of Pharaoh and High Priest and due to its influence on political life in the country.
The specialist said that not only gave Cleopatra reuse crown an important symbolic value. All of the Pharaohs – the descendants of Arsinoe II – copied the crown in the manufacture of offerings to the goddess Hathor, to appease the priesthood and received support during the civil wars.
