At Empire's Edge

Jackson, Robert

The remote deserts of Egypt are littered with the remains of Roman forts, trading stations, towers, temples, statues, roads, wells, quarries and other features that have been neglected over the years in favour of more ancient and monumental ruins. During the 1980s and 1990s Robert Jackson travelled extensively in both the western and eastern deserts, as well as Nubia, recording and photographing remains and archaeological sites. This recommended study combines a travelogue, a gazetteer of sites, some of which are familiar, including Philae and the Siwa oasis, with a historical and archaeological discussion of what life was like at the very limits of Roman influence. 350p, many b/w illus (Yale UP 2002)
