Arsinoe (Greek: Ἀρσινόη) was an ancient city located on the northern extremity of the Sinai Peninsula. Like the nome which contained the city itself, it was named after Arsinoe II, the wife of Ptolemy II Philadelphus.
History
Around 38 BCE, Ptahmose, a member of the Order of the Ancients, used the city as his base of operations, pillaging the nearby Pyramid of Amenmesse to fund the war efforts of Rome and Egypt on the orders of his superior, Gaius Julius Rufio.[1]
Ptahmose's actions were soon discovered by Gamilat, the leader of the Nabataean rebels, and the Hidden One Bayek. Together, they infiltrated the pyramid in search of their target, but found nothing on his whereabouts. Deducing that the Ancient probably operated in the nearby city, Bayek travelled there, finding and assassinating Ptahmose in a Roman camp.[2]
Later, when Rufio decided to commence his invasion of Egypt, he brought his fleet to Arsinoe, whereupon his men attacked the city and began indiscriminately killing civilians,[3] due to Gamilat having hidden his men among them.[4] Bayek and Amunet helped the Nabataean rebels and villagers to defeat the Romans, before the former boarded Rufio's octareme and assassinated him.[3]
