The 30th dynasty of Ancient Egypt
Details about the 30th Dynasty
The Thirtieth, or Sebennytian, Dynasty was the final independent Egyptian dynasty, lasting from 379–378 BCE to the Achaemenids' reconquest in 343 BCE.
The Achaemenid Persians, who had not recognized the loss of this portion of their empire, forced the kings of this dynasty to protect Egypt's independence. The Egyptian monarchs kept their opponents at bay by using Greek mercenaries, who demanded payment in coins (the first to be minted in the area of the Nile), and by allying with the Libyan tribes. A number of old sanctuaries, including Siwa, could be expanded and restored by the monarchs of the Thirtieth Dynasty since the economy was sufficiently well-organized.
King Nectanebo II withdrew to Nubia after failing to stop the Achaemenid invasion. Alexander the Great of Macedon would soon conquer Egypt since the new Persian rulers were still unpopular (332/331).
The Thirty Dynasty's kings were based in Lower Egypt at Sebennytus.
