Between 323 BCE and the seventh century, 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 artistic, social, political, and cultural history of Greco-Roman Egypt.

Prerequisites: one 100- or 200-level course in the classics department.
