For those wishing to study the Roman city in Egypt, the
archaeological record is poorer than that of many other provinces.
Yet the large number of surviving texts allows us to reconstruct
the social lives of Egyptians to an extent undreamt of elsewhere.
We are not, therefore, limited to a history of the public faces of
cities, their inscriptions, and the writings of their elites, but
can begin to understand what the transformations of the city meant
for ordinary people, and to uncover the forces that shaped the
everyday lives of city dwellers. After Egypt became part of the
Roman Empire in 30 BC, Classical and then Christian influences both
made their mark on the urban environment. This book examines the
impact of these new cultures at every level of Egyptian society.
The result is a new and fascinating insight into the creation of a
specific urban society in the Roman Empire, as well as a case study
for the model of urban development in antiquity.
