unusual facts about Ptolemy IV Philopator


Precinct of Amun-Re

Only one column remains in place, bearing inscriptions by Taharqa, Psamtik II and Ptolemy IV Philopator.


Galaton

He probably lived under the Ptolemy IV Philopator (222-205 BC), and his picture was no doubt intended to ridicule the Alexandrian epic poets.

Precinct of Montu

The main features of the Precinct of Montu are the Temple of Montu, Temple of Harpre, Temple of Ma'at, a sacred lake and the Gateway of Ptolemy III Euergetes / Ptolemy IV Philopator, which is the most visible structure on the site and can be easy seen from inside the Precinct of Amon-Re.

Theodotus Hemiolius

What Theodotus accomplished at this time we know not, but the next year (219 BC) we find him serving under the immediate command of Antiochus himself, and bearing an important share in the action against Nicolaus the general of Ptolemy IV Philopator (221–204 BC), near Porphyreon, as well as shortly after at the siege of Rabbatamana.
