Sure, but Egypt as a polity was 3000 years old when Ptolemy's line ruled it. So if Ptolemy's time was ancient, what were the 3000 previous years?

That being said, would be nice to take a photo from Victorian Britain and title it with cyrillic alphabet as "l'ancienne Angleterre".

Edit: to put it otherwise, Egypt is 5k years old and Ptolemy was 2k ago. If we were speaking of USA instead, "Ptolemy" would've ruled during the early 20th century.
