Title
Sarcophagus of Nectanebo IIFrom Alexandria
Caption
Sarcophagus of Nectanebo IIFrom Alexandria / Egypt. 30th Dynasty / around 343 BC. Re-used as a bath. Nectanebo II (reigned 360-343 BC) was the last native king of Egypt. His reign was ended by the second Persian occupation of Egypt / and it is said that he fled to Ethiopia. We thus cannot be certain where he died / or even whether his body was brought back to Egypt for burial. This sarcophagus was probably prepared before he left Egypt and never used.
