Description
Renowned scholars have come together to provide compelling analyses of the continuously evolving dynamics of cultural exchange, first between Egyptians and Greeks—throughout the Bronze Age, then the Archaic and Classical periods of Greece, and in spite of everything Ptolemaic Egypt—and later, when Egypt passed to Roman rule with the defeat of Cleopatra.
Beyond the Nile, a milestone publication issued on the occasion of a major international exhibition, will grow to be an indispensable contribution to the field. With gorgeous photographs of more than two hundred rare objects, including frescoes, statues, obelisks, jewelry, papyri, pottery, and coins, this volume offers an essential and inter-disciplinary approach to the wealthy world of artistic cross-pollination throughout antiquity.
