Commentary

Normalement, Ptolémée a succédé à son père Juba Ier en 23. Mais en fait, il est associé aux affaires depuis 20 après J.-C. La datation des années régnales devrait donc se faire à partir de cette date. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Normally, Ptolemy succeeded his father Juba I in 23 AD. But in fact, he was involved in affairs from 20 AD onwards. The dating of regnal years should therefore be based on this date. This type appears to be much rarer than general works suggest.
