I am currently watching the show Rome and it struck me to see the Ptolemy kid dressed as a pharaoh. I know little about history but I do know that the Ptotelamic dynasty is Greek, after the division of the Empire of Alexander. Looking at pictures of busts of Ptolemaic kings, they all look Greek, not Egyptian/pharaonic. Also, wikipedia lists them as "kings", not "pharaons", which suggests me they did not follow the local customs.
Can someone clear this up for me?
I think /u/cleopatra_philopater is the resident Ptolemaic Egypt expert and they seem to hate Rome's portrayal of Ptolemaic Egypt with burning passion. Not only did they write a monster post on how inaccurate and screwy it's portrayal of Cleopatra and Egypt was (seriously its long and you should read it all but there's also a tldr), but they complain about it all the time cause I've even noticed it. But it's inaccurate as F so there is that.

There are more like these but I think this selection gives you the gist of what you're interested in.
I hope this helps!
