Roma called Roy was High Priest of Amun during the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt, at
the end of the reign of Ramesses II and continued into the reigns of Merenptah and
likely Seti II. Roma served as third and second priest of Amun and finally as first prophet
(high priest) of Amun. He was also a count (h3ty-a), a prince (iry-pat) and a divine father
pure of hands.[1]
Roma's wife Tamut is mentioned in his tomb,[2] while a wife named Tabest is named on
a stele in Leiden (Netherlands).[3]

Stele[edit]
Also known is the stele from Leiden, which bears an inscription from Roma called Roy,
and was once located on the east side of the eighth pylon of the Karnak temple. It is an
important source of the history of the 19th dynasty and contains information about the
rise of the Theban priesthood and the introduction of the royal dynasty of the Ipui clan in
Thebes. A part of the Roma called Roy inscription reads:
"Let my son take my place. And my office will be in his hands. And may it pass from
father to son forever, as a just and useful man does in his master's house."[2]

Burial[edit]
Roma called Roy was buried in TT283 in Dra' Abu el-Naga'.[2]
