Pharoah of Egypt (XII Dynasty)
Amenemhet II's reign is well attested for since of a number of important documents from achieves have been found. His only military action was against Nubia and instead he dealt with the country's internal affairs and especially its governors who were the king's representatives and from time to time not so obedient. They could be a threat to the central power and even set up armies of their own. Amenemhet saw that this did not go too far.
He supervised the foreign affaires in a peaceful way with treaties of trade rather than declarations of war with both Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean area. Picture bottom left: his throne name within a cartouche and meaning - "Golden are the Souls of Re".
