DESCRIPTION:This lecture will focus on the many sole-ruling kandakas ('quee
 ns') of the ancient kingdom of Meroë (Kush/Nubia)\, including those who r
 uled contemporaneously with Cleopatra and with Roman aggressions and occup
 ation along the Nile valley. We will learn about the Nubian warrior queens
  who led troops in battle (and to victory) against Rome\, and deconstruct 
 the reductive stereotypes often peddled about the powerful female rulers o
 f the Nile. We will contrast the queens' self-presentation with the ways i
 n which Roman-imperial authors attempted to re-inscribe them. Please join 
 us for this in-person lecture given by a leading scholar of ancient Nubia 
 and Egypt.
