Talk:Donations of Alexandria

unredirecting from Cleopatra VII
The original article with regards to the Donations of Alexandria, was simply a redirection to Cleopatra VII. That didn't make the content of exactly what the Donations were very clear. I believe that the Donations are a historical fact which deserve their own article. Therefore I've unredirected it and written an article about it. I've based myself on the information regarding the Donations found in various articles, like Marc Antony,... -- fdewaele, 21 January 2008, 13:20 (CET).

Historical Implication
Historian WW Tarn, in an essay entitled "Alexander Helios and the Golden Age" (Journal of Roman Studies, Vol. 22, Part 2 [1932] pp 135-160), analyzes the religious "propangda" surrounding the Donations of Alexandria. Within the article he discusses the influences of symbol and prophecy surrounding the event. W.W. Tarn does direct focus on Alexander Helios as the "Christ"-type. However K.W. Meiklejohn (Alexander Helios and Caesarion) has already demonstrated the unquestioned position of Caesar(ion), King of Kings, Son of God. I will confront the conclusion that both Tarn and Meiklejohn avoided --Caesar(ion) was the TRUE CHRIST! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.235.226.214 (talk) 19:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Contradiction
The article says that Cleopatra, Caesarion's mother, was declared Queen of Libya, but goes on to say that his twin siste Cleopatra was also declared Queen of Libya. Some confusion seems to have crept in. --146.90.47.35 (talk) 20:24, 23 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Libya was nominally dependend on Egypt, giving Cleopatra the real control. She was to be senior queen, Queen of Kingq, whereas her daughter was junior queen -- fdewaele, 23 July 2016, 22:30.

inaccurate map
The map does not reflect the "donations" of territory which was not ruled by Rome. i.e. Parthia and Media. 192.64.2.246 (talk) 15:21, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
