Amanishakheto, warrior queen of Nubia

"Queen Amanishakheto has been called the ‘Warrior Queen of Nubia’ by some scholars due to her defeating the Roman army after Emperor Augustus sent his troops to conquer Kush. She was known to be extremely wealthy and held a significant amount of power. She was responsible for the construction of many of the pyramids at Meroë, and her ancient 60 room palace in Wad ban Naqa has been one of the largest ever discovered. Regarding religion, it has been assumed by historians that she practised a religion that was very similar to her neighbours to the north in Egypt." (historyofroyalwomen.com)
