Abstract

L’indagine è rivolta a due interessanti personaggi, Tigartao e Amage, regine barbariche della costa settentrionale del Mar Nero, le cui peculiari vicende ci sono state tramandata da un’unica fonte: Polieno. Interessante è la rappresentazione fornitaci delle due protagoniste femminili, del tutto diversa da come solitamente sono descritte le regine ellenistiche. 

 

We intend to investigate two interesting characters,  Tigartao  and Amage , barbarian queens of the Northern coast of the Black Sea  region, whose peculiar events we have been handed down from one source : Polyaenus . Their  representation given to us is very interesting and it is quite different from the usual description of  the Hellenistic queens .
