Ancient Egypt, Nubia, Ramesside wars, royal ideologyAbstract
This article examines the wars conducted by the Ramesside pharaohs (1295-1069 BC) in Nubia through a combined analysis of textual, iconographic and archaeological evidence. It argues that these campaigns, carried out mainly to suppress rebellions, were part of a consistent policy aimed at reaffirming Egypt’s imperial authority in its southern provinces. The study aims to contribute to an understanding of the political and ideological dimensions of warfare during the Ramesside era, drawing on current knowledge of the Nubian campaigns and on evidence from temples, stelae, and rock inscriptions.
