Egypt played a crucial role in the Roman Empire for seven
centuries. It was wealthy and occupied a strategic position between
the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean worlds, while its uniquely
fertile lands helped to feed the imperial capitals at Rome and then
Constantinople. The cultural and religious landscape of Egypt today
owes much to developments during the Roman period, including in
particular the forms taken by Egyptian Christianity. Moreover, we
have an abundance of sources for its history during this time,
especially because of the recovery of vast numbers of written texts
giving an almost uniquely detailed picture of its society, economy,
government, and culture. This book, the work of six historians and
archaeologists from Egypt, the US, and the UK, provides students
and a general audience with a readable new history of the period
and includes many illustrations of art, archaeological sites, and
documents, and quotations from primary sources.
