Cleopatra VI Tryphaena

Cleopatra VI Tryphaena was a Ptolemaic Egyptian queen, likely ruling around the 2nd century BCE. She was part of the Ptolemaic dynasty, a Greek family that controlled Egypt after Alexander the Great’s empire divided. While details about her life are limited, she is believed to have been involved in political and possibly religious roles, possibly co-reigning with her relatives. Her exact influence is uncertain, and she remains a somewhat obscure figure in history, known mainly through fragmented inscriptions and coins. Her life reflects the complex, often turbulent geopolitics of Egypt under Greek rule.
