Description
"When Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire in 30 B.C. after the deaths of Antony and Cleopatra, its vast and mysterious frontier lands had an important impact on the commerce, politics, and culture of the empire. This book - part history and part gazetteer - focuses on Rome's Egyptian frontier, describing the ancient fortresses, temples, settlements, quarries, roads, and aqueducts scattered throughout the region and conveying a vivid sense of what life was like for its inhabitants."--BOOK JACKET.
