Paul Getty Museum, 2018).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGenerously illustrated essays consider a range of artistic and other material evidence, including archaeological finds, artworks, papyri, and inscriptions, to shed light on cultural interactions between Egypt, Greece, and Rome from the Bronze Age to the Late Period and Ptolemaic dynasty to the Roman Empire. The military's role as a conduit of knowledge and ideas in the Bronze Age Aegean, and an in-depth study of hieroglyphic Egyptian inscriptions found on Roman obelisks offer but two examples of scholarly lacunae addressed by this publication. Specialists across the fields of art history, archaeology, Classics, Egyptology, and philology will benefit from the volume's investigations into syncretic processes that enlivened and informed nearly twenty-five hundred years of dynamic cultural exchange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe free online edition of this open-access publication is available at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.getty.edu\/publications\/egypt-classical-world\/\"\u003ewww.getty.edu\/publications\/egypt-classical-world\/\u003c\/a\u003e and includes zoomable, high-resolution photography.
