Amanirenas was queen of the Kingdom of Kush from the end of the 1st century BCE to beginning of the 1st century CE.
She is known for halting the Roman expansion into Kush in present-day Sudan.
Amanirenas led an army of about 30,000 Nubian soldiers, armed with swords, bows and arrows, to fight the Romans in Egypt.
Queen Amanirenas led her army from the front, with her son by her side. Her surprise attack was quite effective, resulting in the capture of three important Roman cities.
