SUMMARY: This power point provides a selection of sources (mainly book publications) dealing with many aspects of Ptolemaic-Roman Egypt, particularly the Hellenistic period, but includes the Roman period and some areas outside Egypt (e.g., Rome). The power point has a table of contents outlining the various components, which consist of selected sources on Alexander the Great, the history and selected rulers (i.e., reign studies) during the Ptolemaic-Roman period, overviews on Hellenistic royalty/monarchy and their courts, Late Period-Roman period Egyptian interactions with Greeks, Romans and others, Graeco-Roman interactions with the Egyptian frontier and beyond, Ptolemaic-Roman period Alexandria (and its environs), Rome and Roman architecture, art, etc., the Ancient Landscape of Egypt (especially Ptolemaic-Roman periods), Ptolemaic-Roman settlements in Egypt, Ptol.-Roman cemeteries in Egypt, Ptol.-Roman temples and priests in Egypt, Ptol.-Roman religion in Egypt, music, performance, dance, rituals, etc., some animal cults in Egypt, language and literature, engineering and technology, art and sculpture, men, women, and their appearance (especially clothing/garments), cooking, food, feasting, etc., law and enforcement, the military in Egypt and the Mediterranean Area, the navy in Egypt and the Mediterranean area, documentaries on Ptolemaic-Roman Egypt and related topics, and some other aspects of the Ptolemaic-Roman period (e.g., including non-sorted sources). This resource serves as a starting point for students and course materials I am currently preparing regarding "Cleopatra's World: From Alexander to early Imperial Rome" (2024). More sources will be added over time, but the current ones reflect fairly recent and more easily available sources dealing with the topic area and time frame. UPDATED: Oct. 20, 2024, adding nine new and pending key sources, including documentaries.
