Alexandria: A Cultural and Religious Melting Pot

edited by George Hinge and Jens A. Krasilnikoff

Alexandria was famed as a cultural centre and meeting point throughout antiquity, with Greek, Egyptian, Pagan, Jew and Christian identities and communities all playing an important part in the City's makeup. These eight essays explore aspects of these cultural transactions and interrelationships, looking in particular at perspectives on the Greek and Egytian past in Ptolemaic Alexandria, and at Jewish and Christian identities in the Roman era. 176p b/w illus (Aarhus UP 2009)
