Overview

This volume is the product of the symposium, 'Africa and the Danubian Provinces of the Roman Empire' (July 29-30, 2018), which took place in Timi?oara and was organized by the National Museum of Banat Timi?oara, the Center for Middle Eastern and Mediterranean Studies (Babe?-Bolyai University) Cluj-Napoca, and the West University Timi?oara. One of the keynote speakers was the Director of the Center for Middle Eastern and Mediterranean Studies, Prof. Dr Alexandru Diaconescu. Unfortunately, he passed away much too soon during the compiling of this book , and thus, the volume is dedicated to his memory. The chapters present case studies on the Egyptian and African military and civilian presence in the Danubian provinces, the Egyptian and African influences found in the material evidence, religion and magic around the Danube, as well as the presence of the inhabitants of the Danubian provinces in the North African region of the Roman Empire and Egypt. The contributors to this volume examine literary, historical, epigraphic, archaeological, and art historical evidence in order to discuss the cross-pollination of culture and organization within these two regions of the Roman Empire. This book is a useful tool for historians and archaeologists interested in the interactions at the military, social and religious level within the African and Egyptian space of the Roman Empire, Roman Dacia and other Danubian provinces.
