  16. For those with an interest in ancient Egyptian history (and who doesn't?!), you may know of the Ptolemaic kingdom, an ancient Greek royal dynasty based in Egypt during the Hellenistic period. Founded in 305 BCE by Ptolemy I Soter, a general of Alexander the Great, it lasted nearly 300 years until the death of Cleopatra VII in 30 BCE: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemai

    William E. Daehn has written a new book: Historical and Numismatic Timeline of the Ptolemaic Empire which looks quite interesting (though doesn't appear to be available outside the US yet). See this article in E-Sylum: coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n3
