Dinastia ptolemaica

A dinastia ptolomaica, também conhecida como Lagids ou Lagidae, foi uma Grego macedônio^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] família real que governava o Egito. Seu governo durou 275 anos, de 305 aC a 30 aC. Eles foram a última dinastia do Egito Antigo.

Ptolomeu, foi um dos generais e deputados de Alexandre, o Grande. Ele foi nomeado sátrapa do Egito após a morte de Alexandre em 323 aC. Em 305 BC, ele se declarou rei Ptolomeu I, mais tarde conhecido como "Soter" (salvador). Os egípcios logo aceitaram os Ptolomeus como sucessores dos faraós do Egito independente. Ao contrário de seus governantes anteriores sob o Império Aquemênida, eles geralmente viviam no Egito. A família de Ptolomeu governou o Egito até a conquista romana de 30 AC.

Todos os governantes masculinos da dinastia adotaram o nome de Ptolomeu. As rainhas ptolomaicas, algumas das quais eram irmãs de seus maridos, eram geralmente chamadas de Cleópatra, Arsinoe ou Berenice. A mais famosa, foi a última rainha, Cleópatra VII. Ela esteve envolvida nas batalhas políticas romanas entre Júlio César e Pompeu, e mais tarde entre Otaviano e Marco Antônio. Sua morte marcou o fim do domínio ptolomaico no Egito.
