Hapti (died 47 BCE) was an Egyptian honey farmer who was engaged to Merope and had conceived a child with her before ending up as a worker in the Roman Quarry Camp in the Green Mountains region of Cyrenaica during the mid-1st century BCE.
Biography
Sometime prior to 47 BCE, Hapti proposed to Merope, and they agreed to marry. Before that could happen, though, they conceived a child and Hapti ended up as a worker in the Roman Quarry Camp.[1]
Hapti had an image of the Ankh tattooed onto his skin, believing it to be a remembrance of Egypt, and a protective amulet. He also wrought a bracelet for Merope. [1]
At some point in 47 BCE, a fellow worker, Seker, roused some of the workers, and they plotted a revolt against the Romans in charge of the quarry. Hapti tried to dissuade Seker and his followers, but failed. Fearing for the worst, Hapti wrote a letter to Merope, and gave it to a messenger.[1]
The messenger, however, was caught and tortured by bandits of a nearby hideout. Exploring the hideout, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa found Hapti's letter, and decided to find the man who had written it.[1]
Coming upon the quarry, Bayek found corpses littering the ground: the Romans had answered the attempted revolt by slaughtering all the workers, including Hapti, whom Bayek recognized by his Ankh-tattoo. However, the bracelet Hapti had mentioned in his letter wasn't on his body, but a Roman soldier had claimed it; Bayek retrieved it, and gave it to Merope, whom he found on Hapti's honey farm, southeast of the quarry.[1]
