About the Book

English summary: The long reign of Ptolemy VIII, who ruled over fifty years from 170 to 116 BC is an era of irreversible decline for the Egyptian kingdom. This sovereign was confronted with serious economic, social and political problems and had from the beginning to defend his kingship against his younger brother and his sister. He requested help from the Romans, who intervened in the Greek world since the beginning of the second century BC, and concluded with them an alliance after his accession to the throne in 168. The aim of this book is to grasp and to explain important events of a time that has both attracted and challenged scholars for more than a century, on the one hand because it irreversibly led to the end of the Ptolemaic kingdom and is therefore historically important, and on the other side because the sources from which we know this period are relatively few and often ambiguous and debated. The central part of this study is devoted to the most famous and controversial document in the reign of Ptolemy VIII, i.e. his testament by which he bequeathed his kingdom to the Romans in 155 in case he should die without descendants. Scholars have given to this testament, by which Ptolemy sought protection against his brother and his sister, so great an importance that innumerable interpretations were proposed. Only the most essential of these interpretations were summarized in this study and some clauses of the document have been reinterpreted and its historical importance explained. Five studies are added to the book. In the first, the chronological order of the much debated events of the year 145 BC is examined; - the second bears on two reliefs in the temple of Horus in Edfu, illustrating dynastical propaganda in the religious domain; - the third comments on an exchange of letters of 131-130 BC revealing the correlation between money and power; - the fourth is tentative interpretation the so-called Oracle of the Potter and the last contains an attempt to date the death of Ptolemy VIII. On the whole, this book provides a rather favorable portrait of a person who was often discredited by ancient authors. German description: Die lange Regierungszeit Ptolemaios' VIII., welcher Agypten wahrend mehr als 50 Jahren von 170 bis 116 v. Chr. regierte, ist die Zeit des unumkehrbaren Niederganges des agyptischen Reiches. Dieser Konig sah sich mit schwerwiegenden wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und politischen Problemen konfrontiert und musste von Anfang an fur seine Herrschaft gegen seinen jungeren Bruder und seine Schwester kampfen. Er bat um Hilfe die Romer, die zu Beginn des 2. Jh. v. Chr. in der griechischen Welt intervenierten, und beschloss mit ihnen im J. 168 kurz nach seiner Thronbesteigung einen Bundnisvertrag.In diesem Buch wird versucht, wichtige Ereignisse einer Epoche zu erfassen und zu erklaren, die seit uber einem Jahrhundert die Forscher angezogen aber auch immer wieder herausgefordert hat, einerseits, weil sie unaufhaltsam zum Ende des Ptolemaerreiches gefuhrt hat und somit historisch bedeutsam ist, andererseits, weil die Quellen, auf denen die Kenntnis seiner Geschichte beruht, in der Zahl verhaltnismassig beschrankt und vor allem oft zweideutig und damit umstritten sind. Der zentrale Teil des Werkes ist dem Studium des beruhmtesten und gleichzeitig umstrittensten Dokumentes aus der Regierungszeit dieses Herrschers gewidmet, namlich seines Testamentes, womit er 155 v. Chr. sein Reich den Romern ubertrug, falls er ohne Nachkommen sterben wurde. Diesem Testament, mit dem sich Ptolemaios' VIII. von seinen Geschwistern schutzen wollte, hat die Forschung zu Recht eine solche Wichtigkeit beigemessen, dass sie daruber unendliche Interpretationsversuche unternommen hat. Von diesen Interpretationsversuchen wird hier nur das Wesentliche zusammengefasst. Einige Klauseln des Testamentstextes werden einer erneuten Prufung unterzogen und seine geschichtliche Bedeutung behandelt. Dieses Werk wird ausserdem von funf Einzelstudien erganzt. Sie betreffen in chronologischer Abfolge die oft diskutierten Ereignisse des Jahres 145 v. Chr., dann zwei Reliefs im Horustempel von Edfu, die die dynastische Propaganda auf religiosem Gebiet aufzeigen, danach einen Briefwechsel aus den Jahren 131 und 130, der die Verquickung von Geld und Politik aufdeckt, sodann den Versuch, die sogenannte Prophezeiung des Topfers zu deuten und schliesslich den chronologischen Exkurs uber das Todesdatum Ptolemaios' VIII.Der vorliegende Band vermittelt ein wesentlich vorteilhafteres Bild einer Personlichkeit, die in den antiken Schriftquellen oft diskreditiert wird.
