Ptolemy

The Ptolemaic dynasty was a Greek royal family which ruled over Egypt for nearly 300 years, from 305 BC to 30 BC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemaic_dynasty

Claudius Ptolemaeus (Greek: Κλαύδιος Πτολεμαῖος; ca. 100 – ca. 178), known in English as Ptolemy, was an ancient geographer, astrologer, and astronomer who probably lived and worked in Alexandria, off the coast of Egypt.
