Great Theban Revolt
Egyptian revolt against the Ptolemaic Kingdom
The Great Theban Revolt was an uprising in the Thebaid at the end of the 3rd century BC against the authority of the Ptolemaic dynasty which then controlled Egypt. Unlike other revolts rapidly suppressed by the Ptolemies, this revolt stands out due to its long duration and its spread across a large part of Upper Egypt.
