A review of the book by M. Wasmuth, Ägypto-perische Herrscher- und Herrschaftsrepräsentation.

“

While the quality of Wasmuths publication is generally high, a few proposals for divergent interpretation are made. Especially it s proposed that a group of coins does not depict the persian ruler wih an Egyptian cown, but rather a local deity of Tarsos whose iconograpgy has taken up Egyptian traits. Doubt is raised concerning a depiction in the temple of Hibis where Wasmuth wants to see the Persian king while the reviewer would simply identify him as the god Seth. Etymological proposals for a personal name and a bird designation in the Elamit tetxs are made.
