The author explores Egyptian objects that were appropriated during Roman occupation and how this spawned a tradition of copying elements of this exotic and alien culture, as well as the development of existing cultural and artistic traditions in Egypt under Roman rule. Her discussion of these different forms of acculturation is set alongside more than one hundred beautifully photographed objects from an exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge each with detailed descriptions of material and subject matter.  Includes a bibliography.  Hardback.  198 pages.   In near new condition.  Cat No 4743
