Natakamani

Natakamani, also called Aqrakamani, was a king of Kush who reigned from Meroë in the middle of the 1st century CE. He ruled as co-regent with the Kandake Amanitore. While the title "Kandake" has sometimes been interpreted as "Queen Mother," leading to early theories that she was his mother, the prevailing modern view based on their equal iconography and shared children is that they were spousal co-rulers. Natakamani is the best attested ruler of the Meroitic period.Mokhtar, G. (2001) Ancient Civilizations of Africa "University of California Press". p. 168. . He and Amanitore may have been contemporaries of the Roman emperor Nero.
