Amanitore, also spelled Amanitere or Amanitare,[1] was a queen regnant of the Kingdom of Kush, ruling from Meroë in the middle of the 1st century CE.[2] She ruled together with her son, Natakamani.[2] The co-reign of Amanitore and Natakamani is a very well attested period and appears to have been a prosperous time.[2][3] They may have been contemporaries of the Roman emperor Nero.[2]
