Question

Which statement describing the history of the Romans, Egyptians, and Greeks is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

Egypt was ruled first by the Greeks and then by the Romans.

Explanation:

The first time Egypt was conquered was by Alexander the Great in 332 BC. It was one of his early conquests and he had an appreciation for Egyptian ideas, leaders, and religion. Ptolemy I Soter, his companion, became the ruler of Egypt and started the Ptolomy dynasty that ruled Egypt all until it was conquested by Romans.

The last ruler from the dynasty was Cleopatra VII. In 30 BC Octavian (later known as Augustus) defeated Cleopatra, who was aided by Mark Antony, and annexed Egypt to the Roman Empire.
