Amanirenas was the Candice or Kandake queen of the Kingdom of Kush from c. 40 BC to c. 10 BC. Amanirenas is one of the most famous kandakes because of her role in leading Kushite armies against the Romans in a war that lasted five years, from 27 BC to 22 BC. After an initial victory when the Kushites attacked Roman Egypt, they were driven out of Egypt. Amanirenas was described as brave and blind in one eye. It is said Amanirenas took the head of Augustus and hid it under her palace; a final battle never took place; instead, an audience gathered on the island of Samos, where she then sent her ambassadors with a bundle of golden arrows sent a message to their monarch. "Queen Amanirenas sends you these arrows; if you want peace, they're a token of her friendship and warmth; if you want war keep the arrows, for you're going to need them."
