From 323 BCE until the seventh century Arab conquest, the Macedonian Ptolemies and subsequently, the Romans ruled Egypt. During this colonial period, Egypt was inhabited by a multitude of ethnic groups, including Persians, Jews, Greeks, Egyptians and Romans. Yet, Egyptian culture and heritage, particularly in the realm of religion and art, remained vibrant. Through thematic topics rather than a strict chronological approach, this course surveys the social, political and cultural history of Greco-Roman Egypt.
