The Beautiful Burial in Roman Egypt: Art, Identity, and Funerary Religion - Oxford Studies in Ancient Culture Representation
Riggs, Christina (Curator of Egyptology, The Manchester Museum, University of Manchester)
This important new study looks at coffins, masks, shrouds, and tombs from the Roman Period in Egypt, when naturalistic Greek art forms, like portraits, were combined with traditional Egyptian art. The book presents more than 150 objects and tombs, many for the first time, and reveals how they created a 'beautiful burial' to glorify the dead in the changing cultural landscape of Roman Egypt.
