Ashton, Sally-Ann PETRIE'S PTOLEMAIC AND ROMAN MEMPHIS
Institute of Archaeology, University College London 2003 0905853407 / 9780905853406 Softcover Very Good
Pencil marginalia to some pages. Includes cd in back sleeve. Minor creasing to wraps and base of spine. ; Memphis was one of the great melting pots of Mediterranean and African culture during the reigns of the heirs of Alexander and under the Roman Empire, a vibrant and complex community well after the end of the age of its ancient Pharaonic founders. For too long, its importance during this critical period has been wrongly eclipsed by the younger city of Alexandria. This book challenges such assumptions by taking a closer look at Memphis through the lens of the rich material excavated there by Flinders Petrie over a century ago, and exhibited in University College London’s Petrie Museum. These finds bring alive the diversity of the city’s inhabitants and raise questions, still relevant today, about the representations and realities of ethnic groups. This book presents the excavation background to the finds, their manufacturing processes and their cultural implications. It is accompanied by a CD ROM that illustrates this informative and neglected material. ; UCL Institute of Archaeology Publications; 120 pages

Bagnall, Roger S. LATER ROMAN EGYPT Society, Religion, Economy and Administration
Variorum 2003 0860788997 / 9780860788997 Hardcover Very Good+ with no dust jacket
A couple of corners very slightly bumped. ; Egypt, with its ever-growing wealth of evidence from the papyri, has in recent decades been one of the liveliest areas of scholarship on the later Roman Empire. This volume collects two dozen articles on the social, economic, and administrative history of Egypt. In these studies some of the main themes of Roger Bagnall's work are visible, in particular attempts to explore the possibilities for quantifying not only questions like the burden of taxation or the distribution of land-ownership, but more tantalizing and controversial matters like the rate at which the population of Egypt was Christianized. ; Variorum Collected Studies Series, 758; 324 pages
