Author Description

Excerpt from A History of Egypt: Under Roman Rule It must be recognised that the story of Egypt during the centuries of Roman rule is not, and probably never will be, anything like a connected narrative. From time to time a chance notice by some writer throws a momentary light on the state of the country; but, for the most part, events in Egypt were too monotonously uninteresting for the historians of the Roman Empire to pay any attention to them. Egypt supplied corn, not men, to Rome. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
