Packet 2: Bonus 20

Cassius Dio described territory from the Hellespont to India being distributed at this city, reflecting how Hellenistic universalistic concepts influenced Roman ideology. For 10 points each:
[10e] Mark Antony bestowed the titles “King of Kings” and “Queen of Kings” upon Caesarion and Cleopatra Selene (“seh-LEE-nee”) at what city, the Ptolemaic capital?
ANSWER: Alexandria [or Alexándreia]
[10m] Ptolemaic side-by-side “jugate” (“JOO-gut”) portraiture influenced late Republican coinage, later being used at the Ephesus mint to depict this woman with her husband Augustus. This woman was the mother of Tiberius.
ANSWER: Livia Drusilla [or Livia Augusta or Julia Augusta in place of “Livia”; prompt on Julia]
[10h] This Hellenistic practice of “elite gift-giving” increased in the Imperial period. This Greek term provided the epithets of both a king and his wife whose “lock” named a poem dedicated to her by Callimachus.
ANSWER: euergetism (“yoo-ERG-et-ism”) [or word forms; accept euergetes; accept Ptolemy III Euergetes; accept Berenice II Euergetis; prompt on benefactor by asking “what Greek equivalent provided the epithet?”] (Recorded euergetic endowments by women in the Hellenistic and Imperial periods number 11 and about 40 respectively, and the ratio is similar for men.)
