EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Andrea Bernieri for Giulio Ferrari's "Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples" published in Florence in 1843, showcases an impressive collection of coins and medals from the Ptolemaic Dynasty of ancient Egypt. The Ptolemaic Kingdom, which ruled Egypt from 323 BC to 30 BC, is renowned for its rich cultural heritage and political stability. This engraving features portraits of several prominent rulers from this period, including Ptolemy Euergetes I, Berenice II, Arsinoe III, Ptolemy II Philadelphus, Arsinoe V, Ptolemy V Epiphanes, Ptolemy VIII Physcon, Ptolemy IX Lathyros, Ptolemy XI Alexander, Ptolemy XII Auletes, and Cleopatra VII. Each ruler is depicted with their individual attributes and symbols, providing a visual representation of their reign. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the engraving bring these historical figures to life, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of the Ptolemaic court. The coins and medals themselves are also of great historical significance, providing valuable information about the economic and political climate during each ruler's reign. This engraving is not only a beautiful work of art, but also an important historical document, shedding light on the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt and the Ptolemaic Dynasty.
