Lots of Greeks in Egypt after Alexander. Cleopatra of the Ptolemys was the most famous.

A soldier’s lot hasn’t changed much down through the ages, does it?

According to Post #7:

Pannonia largely corresponds to what today called Hungary.

Cleopatra was the first Ptolemy to actually speak Egyptian. Can you imagine running an country and not speaking the native tongue. We cannot even imagine life in Egypt.
