The last years have witnessed an increasing interest in Ptolemaic Egypt, owing in particular to the growing amount of published material, be it written or archaeological sources, which enable new perspectives on old questions. The topics ruler cult and dynastic representation have found considerable attention, particularly regarding the Egyptian heartland, whereas the Ptolemaic possessions outside of Egypt have yet not, especially not in a comprehensive perspective. Therefore it is the aim of this research project to analyse the written and archaeological sources regarding ruler cult and dynastic representation from the possessions outside of Egypt through a combination of archaeology and ancient history. We want to ask on the one hand how these sources were engaged as means of legitimation and protection of Ptolemaic rule by the Ptolemies themselves and on the other hand how they acted as signs of acceptance on part of the subjects of Ptolemaic rule. Furthermore we will carve out whether these subjects formulated an idea of the ideal ruler by themselves. The project is split up between the facilities of Leipzig and Halle that based on the division of labour analyse the written and the non written tradition.The objective of the project in Halle is to examine the visual and material sources regarding the dynastic representation of the Ptolemies in the possessions outside of Egypt as well as their perception regarding the ruler cult. These two key questions need to be answered: 1. What media were used by the function owners of the dynasty and the kings themselves in order to represent their authority in the areas outside the heartland? 2. How is this self representation of the Ptolemies reflected in the ruler cult that has not been instituted from official quarters?The objective of the project in Leipzig is to record the written evidence for ruler cult and the dynastic representation and to analyse it on the basis of the agenda formulated above. The following fields are to be investigated: 1. Terminology, 2. Actors, 3. Aitia and Prophasis, 4. Historical context.Aim of the combined efforts should be first to gather sources systematically and digitally. Second to create a comprehensive analysis of the ruler cult and the dynastic representation in the possessions outside of Egypt, to be supplemented by an annotated selection of relevant visual, material and textual sources.

过去几年，人们对托勒密埃及的兴趣越来越大，特别是由于出版的材料越来越多，无论是书面材料还是考古资料，这些材料使人们能够从新的角度看待旧问题。统治者崇拜和王朝代表性的话题已经得到了相当多的关注，特别是关于埃及的中心地带，而托勒密在埃及以外的领地还没有，特别是没有全面的观点。因此，本研究项目的目的是通过考古学和古代历史的结合，分析埃及以外的财产中关于统治者崇拜和王朝代表的书面和考古资料。我们想问的是，一方面，托勒密王朝是如何利用这些资料作为合法化和保护托勒密统治的手段的，另一方面，它们又是如何成为托勒密统治的一部分臣民接受的标志的。此外，我们还将探讨这些臣民是否自己形成了理想统治者的观念。该项目在莱比锡和哈雷的设施之间进行分工，根据劳动分工分析书面和非书面传统。哈雷项目的目标是检查关于埃及以外领土上托勒密王朝的视觉和材料来源，以及他们对统治者崇拜的看法。这两个关键问题需要回答：1。王朝的职能所有者和国王自己使用什么媒体来在中心地带以外的地区代表他们的权威？2.托勒密王朝的这种自我表现是如何反映在并非由官方建立的统治者崇拜中的？莱比锡项目的目标是记录统治者崇拜和王朝代表的书面证据，并根据上述议程进行分析。以下领域将被调查：1。术语，2.演员，3。Aitia and Prostitution，4.历史背景：联合努力的目标应首先是系统地和数字化地收集资料来源。第二，创建一个全面的分析，统治者崇拜和王朝的代表性在埃及以外的财产，以补充相关的视觉，材料和文本来源的注释选择。
