The Battle of Kadesh looms large in our perception of Ramses the Great – and, to judge from his many representations of it, in his perception of himself. But how did he represent himself in Nubia? And what was life like in Nubia under Ramses’ rule? These and other questions will be addressed in this lecture.
This program is supported by Elizabeth Moyer, PhD, and Michael Powanda, PhD; Bernard and Jane von Bothmer, in honor of the late Bernard V. Bothmer; and Sheila Wishek.
