  • King Ptolemy was the first king of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. Ptolemy was responsible for Serapis' rise to power.
  • Ptolemy was the author of several scientific treatises, three of which would be of continuing importance to later Islamic and European science. The first is the astronomical treatise now known as the Almagest (in Greek, Η Μεγάλη Σύνταξις, "The Great Treatise", originally Μαθηματικἠ Σύνταξις, "Mathematical Treatise"). The second is the Geography, which is a thorough discussion of the geographic knowledge of the ancient Mediterranean. The third is the astrological treatise known as the Tetrabiblos ("Four books") in which he attempted to adapt horoscopic astrology to the Aristotelian natural philosophy of his day.
  • Just experimenting. Inspired by bluefish2b and a winamp skin I saw once. The name just came out of the blue while I was eating a cordon swiss (don't ask) and listening to Aphex Twin's Ptolemy. No calamari were hurt in the making of this theme.
  • Claudius Ptolemaeus (AD 90 – 168), known in English as Ptolemy was a Roman mathematician, astronomer, geographer and astrologer. He lived in Egypt under the Roman Empire, although he appears to have been of Greek descent. Ptolemy was the author of several scientific treatises. The astronomical treatise now known as the Almagest set forth the concept of the geocentric universe: Earth is the center of the universe, with the Sun, the Moon, and the stars revolving around her. This model was eventually adopted as doctrine by the Catholic Church.
  • Claudius Ptolemaeus (Greek: Κλαύδιος Πτολεμαίος Klaúdios Ptolemaîos; after AD 83–c.168), known in English as Ptolemy (pronounced /ˈtɒləmɪ/), was a Roman mathematician, astronomer, geographer and astrologer. He lived in Roman Egypt, and was probably born there in a town in the Thebaid called Ptolemais Hermiou; he died in Alexandria around 168 AD. Image:Cscr-featured.png
  • Ptolemy (138 BC–124 BC) was the most notable of Bartimaeus' old masters, being both fair and kind. He wanted peace between demons and magicians, rather then the slavery that existed between the two factions. To prove his loyalty, and his trust towards Bartimaeus, he created the Gate of Ptolemy which allowed him to visit Bartimaeus in the Other Place for once putting the power in a demon's hands. However, his trip to the Other Place weakened him giving his cousin, the heir to the Egyptian throne, room to manuever and kill him.
