Ptolemy, the last king of Mauretania. Ptolemy was the son of Juba II of Mauretania and Cleopatra Selene, making him the only known grandchild of Cleopatra VII and Mark Antony. Just like many other children of the client kings of Rome, Ptolemy spent his youth in Rome learning to be a loyal Roman ally under the supervision of his maternal aunt Antonia Minor.

Ptolemy became king of Mauretania in 23 AD. In 40 AD Ptolemy was executed by Emperor Caligula while visiting Rome, allegedly because the latter was jealous of Ptolemy's splendid purple cloak. He was probably the father of a daughter named Drusilla. Many years later, this Drusilla married priest-king of Emesa and there is some speculation that she was an ancestor of Roman Empress Julia Domna.

End of the year questions: 21?

21. What’s something new about your place of residence (room, home, or general location) now vs the start of the year? everything is new! i had a big mid-year move and didn’t bring much with me, so nor only is my house completely new to me but i’ve spent a good while curating my new living space and acquiring a bed, dresser, decor, and a fun little filming setup on one side of my room (see below)

There's a speculation that this late Ptolemaic bust might be a portrait of Marcus Antonius who was born on 14 January 83 BC. Unfortunately, we don't have any extant portraits that we can be 100% sure are of Antony besides his image on coins, which tended to be highly stylized.

He was supposed to be a very handsome man and he allegedly wore his tunic short to show off his well-muscled thighs.
