The Kandake — Warrior Queens of Kush | Heritage Metal Sign

When Augustus Caesar sent legions to pacify the Egyptian frontier, they encountered an army led by the Kandake — the Meroitic queen who had one eye, lost in battle, and led her army herself. The Romans and the Kandake negotiated a treaty unusually favorable to Nubia — a remarkable outcome when negotiating with the most powerful empire on earth. The Kandakes of Meroe built pyramids, issued coins, and led armies for centuries. The arrow quiver, the Meroitic crown, the elephant, the one-eyed queen who made Rome negotiate as an equal — in aluminum.
