Ptolemaioi (Imperator Augustus)

Ptolemaic Egypt was one of the most impressive cultural and economic powers in the Mediterranean. By combining local customs with the sponsorship of the finest minds in the Hellenistic world, Ptolemy married the grandeur of ancient empire with modern sophistication. However, Egypt’s power has waned, and her rulers court Roman support to validate their claims. Cleopatra has exploited this masterfully, ushering in a peace that maximises Egypt’s trade and agricultural might. With the right leader at the helm to marshal these resources, Egypt could even rise beyond the heights of its former supremacy!
