Egypt played a crucial role in the Roman Empire for seven centuries. It was wealthy and occupied a strategic position between the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean worlds, while its uniquely fertile lands helped to feed the imperial capitals at Rome and then Constantinople. The cultural and religious landscape of Egypt today owes much to developments during the Roman period, including in particular the forms taken by Egyptian Christianity. Moreover, we have an abundance of sources for its history during this time, especially because of the recovery of vast numbers of written texts giving an almost uniquely detailed picture of its society, economy, government, and culture. This book, the work of six historians and archaeologists from Egypt, the US, and the UK, provides students and a general audience with a readable new history of the period and includes many illustrations of art, archaeological sites, and documents, and quotations from primary sources.

In 1897 Jacques de Morgan published a map of the Memphite necropolis, showing for the first time a pair of catacombs for mummified dogs. No further information was given and the catacombs remained largely un-investigated until the 21st century. In 2009 the Catacombs of Anubis Project was set up by Cardiff University who worked in collaboration with the Egyptian Supreme Council for Antiquities in an attempt to understand the larger of the two catacombs. This publication describes the work of the Catacombs of Anubis Project. It examines the way in which the catacomb was created and the likely phases of its development in the Late and Ptolemaic periods. The way in which the many thousands of animal mummies were procured is discussed in the light of modern faunal analysis and these results are combined with a new survey of the site to give a picture of the functioning of the cult at Saqqara. Finally, the way in which the monument may have been re-used in the post-pharaonic era is discussed. The results will be of interest to all those interested in animal mummies and in the development of catacombs as well as those concerned with the evolution of the sacred landscape of Saqqara.

Du cahier des charges définissant les obligations respectives des parties, des registres mensuels faisant état des sommes perçues pour le compte de l’État romain aux reçus émis à la suite de l’acquittement des impôts, des déclarations de fouille aux plaintes dénonçant les abus des personnels douaniers, l’ensemble des activités liées aux douanes d’Égypte a donné lieu à une production documentaire remarquable par la variété et la quantité des pièces produites. Le corpus papyrologique (papyrus et ostraca), plus de cinq cents documents en langue grecque, rassemble la totalité de la documentation éditée à ce jour. Les documents de la pratique égyptiens sont, de ce fait, l’une des sources les plus précieuses pour reconstituer les modalités de fonctionnement de la fiscalité douanière, saisir les évolutions qu’elle a connues et apprécier les apports de ce champ de l’administration fiscale aux savoirs de gouvernement de l’Empire romain. En présentant la documentation, en analysant le vocabulaire fiscal et en dressant une typologie des écrits douaniers, cet ouvrage donne également à voir les acteurs, égyptiens, grecs ou romains, impliqués dans la production des écrits ou dans l’exécution des opérations de vérification. Auprès d’eux, c’est le caractère empirique de la prise de décision politique qui dès lors émerge de cette étude originale et témoigne de la capacité d’adaptation des pouvoirs publics à des exigences fiscales et administratives le plus souvent conjoncturelles.
