"Pharaoh King of Eypt explores the ideals and realities of kingship in ancient Egypt, fromthe earliest rulers who unified the peoples along the Nile to the Roman emperors who governed a conquered Egypt. This book investigates the three main roles of the pharaoh- as head of state, as chief priest and as commander of the army. Examples of larger-scale sculptures, jewellery, tiles and bronze figurines examine the well-crafted, official image of the pharaohs, while papyri, weapons and letters expose the more complicated world of ancient kingship and reveal the unique individuals who held the throne, including women, foreigners and usurpers"-- Book jacket.
