Amanirenas

Her full name and title was Amanirense qore li kdwe li ("Ameniras, Qore and Kandake").
She reigned from about 40 BCE to 10 BCE. She is one of the most famous kandakes ( Queen ), because of her role leading Kushite armies against the Romans in a war that lasted five years. She lost an eye on the battlefield but beat the Europeans in Aswan, Philae and Elephantine. The Nubians went then back home with war prisoners and war loot that included August Caesar’s busts, one of which they buried under a temple dedicated to the their victories. -Sources: -Wikipedia -http://www.lisapoyakama.org
