Egypt from Alexander to the Early Christians, An Archaeological and Historical Guide

Egypt from Alexander to the Early Christians, An Archaeological and Historical Guide

by Roger Bagnall (Editor)  •  Dominic Rathbone (Editor)

  • HISTORY
  • 2005
  • HARD COVER
  • 320 PAGES

Essays by leading experts populate this historical compilation, which attempts to shift focus away from the architecture of the pharaohs and toward the Egyptian cities, tombs and religious buildings created in the later Hellenistic, Roman, and Late Antique periods. With site plans, museum guides, and building information, this is a fascinating introduction to the culture and art of an overlooked era. Includes 26 beautiful and rare color photographs.  (EGY185, $65.00)
