Casting a fresh and original light on the subject, this excellent
monograph focuses on the transition of Egypt from the status of
allied kingdom of Rome, to that of a province of the Roman Empire
from the point of view of the administration and economy. Using
updated documents including papyri, inscriptions, ostraka and a map
of Egypt under Roman rule, the book investigates the period of
Cleopatra's reign in the 50s BC to the death of Tiberius in AD 37,
what areas underwent changes, where Ptolemaic traditions were
allowed to continue and takes into consideration fiscal and
financial issues and the consequences of Roman taxation,
landholding and currency. Augustan Egypt includes key topics such
as: the univestigated area of the fate of the Ptolemaic soldiers
after the Roman conquest; a new interpretation of the data on the
beginning of the Roman census in Egypt; the administration of Egypt
under Augustus, from the top officials down to the chora; the
changes in law and jurisdiction; and how the nome capitals of Egypt
became cities of Graeco-Roman type. This is an excellent study
reference for all students and scholars of ancient history.
