This is the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II (1303-1213 BC), also known as “Ramses the Great”, decked out in his military getup. Like all Egyptian Pharaohs, Ramses set out to propagandize himself as the protector of the kingdom as well as the balance between order and chaos, and he was particularly fond of promoting himself as the victor of the Battle of Kadesh against the Hittite Empire in 1275 BC. In real life, however, the battle was most likely a draw between the Egyptians and Hittites which resulted in a pact of non-aggression between the two Bronze Age superpowers.
