Tradition and Transformation. Egypt under Roman Rule
Proceedings of the International Conference, Hildesheim, Roemer- and Pelizaeus-Museum, 3â6 July 2008
ä¸ç¼ï¼- Culture and History of the Ancient Near East, å·ï¼ 41
In 30 BCE, Egypt became a province of the Roman empire. Alongside unbroken traditionsâespecially of the indigenous Egyptian population, but also among the Greek eliteâmajor changes and slow processes of transformation can be observed. The multi-ethnical population was situated between new patterns of rule and traditional lifeways. This tension between change and permanence was investigated during the conference. The last decades have seen an increase in the interest in Roman Egypt with new research from different disciplinesâEgyptology, Ancient History, Classical Archaeology, Epigraphy, and Papyrologyâproviding new insights into the written and archaeological sources, especially into settlement archaeology. Well-known scholars analysed the Egyptian temples, the structure and development of the administration beside archaeological, papyrological, art-historical and cult related questions.
