AHPG821: Ptolemaic Egypt
Ptolemaic Egypt: This course will cover Egypt in the last three centuries BC, from its conquest by Alexander the Great to its incorporation into the Roman Empire. Proceeding from the foundation of the Ptolemaic dynasty by Alexander's general Ptolemy in the new city of Alexandria, it will examine both the internal history of Egypt, and its relationship with the other Hellenistic kingdoms and Rome. Areas of focus will include the developing interaction between the Greeks and Egyptians, and the place of the Egyptian religion and language in the Ptolemaic period.
