Philae Victory Stela















This is an article on the Philae victory stela, which has been known for more than a hundred years; however, the trilingual inscription is poorly carved and difficult to read. A  recent study has shown that Roman Emperor Octavian is mentioned as a Pharaoh on the stela, even though Octavian was never crowned Pharaoh.
