The Epigraphy of Ptolemaic Egypt by Alan Bowman and Charles Crowther
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 10 MB
Overview: The Ptolemaic period in Egypt (332-30 BC) is one of the most well-documented periods of the Hellenistic age: in addition to the papyrological record there are more than 600 surviving Greek and Greek/Egyptian bilingual and trilingual inscriptions, ranging from massive public monuments, such as the Rosetta Stone, to small private dedications, funerary plaques, and metrical epigrams for the deceased. This volume offers a series of detailed studies of the historical and cultural contexts of these important inscriptions and is intended to complement the multi-volume Corpus of Ptolemaic
Inscriptions edition, in which the Greek and Egyptian texts will be presented together for the first time.
