Maggiori informazioni sul libro

What significations did Egypt have for the Romans a century after Actium and afterwards? How did Greek imperial authors respond to the Roman fascination with the Nile? This book explores Egypt s aftermath beyond the hostility of Augustan rhetoric, and Greek and Roman topoi of Egyptian barbarism . Set against history and material culture, Julio-Claudian, Flavian, Antonine, and Severan authors reveal a multivalent Egypt that defines Rome s increasingly diffuse identity while remaining a tantalizing tertium quid between Roman Selfhood and foreign Otherness."
