For a while the Pharaoh did actually reside in Rome, starting with Caesar Augustus (who was also Pontifex Maximus). Augustus was hailed as a god by both the Roman imperial cult and the pharaonic cult. Maximinus Daza (the eastern Roman emperor during the Tetrarchy) was the last holder of the title Paraoh, and I think he reigned from Nicomedia, in Anatolia. It’s funny that Pharaoh died out with the rise of christianity, but Pontifex lived on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_pharaoh |
