Amanirenas was a Meroitic royal woman who bore both the titles Candace and qere, leading to her identification as a ruling queen. She appears at Dakka, Meroe, Hamdab, and Kawa, and is traditionally associated with the Meroitic confrontation with Rome. The evidence does not securely establish her relationships with Teriteqas and Akinidad or prove that she was the Candace described by Strabo.

Le récit
Amanirenas is one of four Meroitic royal personages known from the period discussed. Unlike royal women who bore Candace alone, she carried both Candace and qere, titles that support her identification as a ruling queen. Her name occurs at Dakka, Meroe, Hamdab, and Kawa, suggesting a presence across the main area of Meroitic culture.
Her name is associated with Teriteqas and Akinidad in several arrangements. At Dakka, the three appear together; Teriteqas is also linked with Amanirenas at Meroe, while Akinidad is linked with her at Kawa and Hamdab. These combinations may reflect succession or family relationships, but the excerpt stresses that the precise relationships cannot be determined with certainty.
Amanirenas has usually been identified with Strabo’s Candace and placed at the center of the war against Rome. One reconstruction presents Teriteqas, Amanirenas, and Akinidad at the campaign’s beginning, followed by Teriteqas’s death and continued warfare by Akinidad and his mother Amanirenas. Yet the inscriptional evidence from Qasr Ibrim complicates this sequence, and the identification remains provisional.
