The article is a publication of the decoration fragment coming from an unknown sacral building from Elephantine. The scene preserved in the lower register represents Ptolemy VI Philometor making and offering to Petempamentes, Petensetis and Petensenis. The three gods, known from I.Th.Sy. 303 stele, who have been the subject of scientific discussion for years, appear here all together in one scene – for the first time in the decoration programme of an Egyptian sacral edifice. The iconography of the characters and the accompanying texts suggest a definition of the gods’ personalities as divine warriors and protectors, subject also to a popular cult. The scene considered in the context of the preserved fragments of the upper register seems to imply the association of the building with the royal ideology and possibly the dynastic cult.

On the site of ancient Heracleion, today under water of the Bay of Abukir, the team of the Institut Européen d’Archéologie Sous-Marine (IEASM) found in 2011 the upper part of a masculine statue in black granite, featuring both pharaonic (overall attitude, head-dress nemes) and Hellenistic (fringe of curls) schemes. Such images of the Egyptian sovereign do not appear before Ptolemaic times and this ‘mixed’ royal iconography was clearly addressed to the mixed Graeco-Egyptian population, that has increased in importance only under Ptolemy IV, and after the battle of Raphia in particular. The wide and fleshy face of the Heracleion sculpture is far from the juvenile long face and narrow chin of Ptolemy VI (see the heads in Athens and Alexandria) and suits at the best the image of corpulent Ptolemy VIII Physkon (‘pot-belly’) – as testified in particular by the head, attributed to this king from Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum, and another granite sculpture from Copenhagen, Ny Carlsberg.
