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.

'This is an extremely useful book for both students and those who want to encounter a complex and fascinating past that is rich in documents that still animate today's academic debate. The handbook offers in-depth fact sheets on the most discussed sources as well as an up-to-date bibliography (not only by English- speaking scholars) on much-debated topics … I recommend this book for the richness of the arguments discussed and for its ability to make them accessible not only to a specialist audience.' Luca Arcari, Review of Biblical Literature
