The Rosetta Stone - the Ptolemaic Decrees, issued by the Hellenistic Ptolemaic dynasty, which ruled Egypt from 305 BC to 30 BC. The series consists of the Decree of Canopus by Ptolemy III, Decree of Memphis, (as represented by the Memphis Stele) by Ptolemy IV, and the Rosetta Stone decree by Ptolemy V. Copies of the Ptolemaic Decrees were erected in several temple courtyards, as the decrees specified.
This was as information of the Hellenistic (Egyptian) population

∙ 12y agoThe Rosetta stone is a copy of the Pharoah's "new" tax policy (as of 196 b.c.) and was essentially used as a public "billboard" to be set up outside of the temple so people could read it. The Rosetta stone was written for the priests and the people so that they could see the "generosity" of the Pharoah who had decided to roll back taxes on the temples to what they had been in ancient times.
