Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a very rare collection of non-literary documents from Egypt in the Roman era (30 BC - 395 AD). These texts, preserved in the sands of Egypt for nearly two thousand years, provide insights into the administrative, financial, legal, and everyday life of ordinary citizens in the Roman period. The texts come from the town of Oxyrhynchus, one of the main provincial capitals in Roman Egypt, located in Middle Egypt. These documents were written on papyrus, which was the standard writing material in Egypt for many centuries. Due to the arid desert climate of Egypt, many of these papyri have survived in relatively good condition, providing a rich source of information for historians and scholars. The author presents transcriptions and translations of the original documents, and expertise in papyrology and linguistics allows for their historical and social context to be reconstructed, adding to our understanding of Graeco-Roman Egypt. This book will appeal to anyone interested in ancient history, classics, and the study of everyday life in the Roman period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333905811_0
