- catalog abstract ""The study of the city in Roman and Byzantine Egypt is illuminated by a large number of surviving texts. These allow us to reconstruct the social lives of Egyptians to an extent undreamt of for other provinces of the Empire. We are not, therefore, limited to a history of the public faces of cities, their inscriptions, and the writings of their elites, but can begin to understand what the transformations of the city meant for ordinary people, and to uncover the forces that shaped the everyday lives of city dwellers.". "After Egypt became part of the Roman Empire in 30 BC, Classical and then Christian influences both made their mark on the urban environment. This book examines the impact of these new cultures at every level of Egyptian society. Richard Alston uncovers the distinctive features of Classical and Byzantine urbanism, and exposes the radical differences between the modern and ancient experience of city life."--BOOK JACKET.".
