Ruler representation and ruler cult of the Ptolemies in their possessions and areas of influence outside Egypt (323 to 30 B.C.)

最近几年，人们对托勒密时期的埃及越来越感兴趣，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，都使人们能够对旧问题有新的看法。统治者崇拜和王朝代表的主题得到了相当大的关注，特别是在埃及的中心地带，而托勒密在埃及以外的领地还没有得到关注，尤其是没有得到全面的关注。因此，本研究项目的目的是通过考古学和古代史的结合，分析埃及境外财产中有关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，这些资料是如何被托勒密人自己作为托勒密统治的合法化和保护的手段，另一方面，它们又是如何成为托勒密统治的臣民接受托勒密统治的标志。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概念。该项目在莱比锡和哈雷的设施之间进行了划分，基于劳动分工分析了书面和非书面传统。Halle项目的目的是研究关于托勒密王朝在埃及以外的属地的表现以及他们对统治者崇拜的看法的视觉和材料来源。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介来代表他们在中心地带以外的地区的权威？2. 托勒密王朝的这种自我表现如何反映在统治者崇拜中，而这种崇拜并不是由官方建立的？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，并根据上述议程对其进行分析。以下是需要调查的领域：术语,2。演员,3。阿提亚和普罗法西斯，4。历史背景。联合努力的目标应该首先是系统地和数字化地收集资源。其次，对统治者崇拜和埃及境外财产中的王朝代表进行全面分析，并辅以相关视觉，材料和文本来源的注释选择。

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.
