'This volume provides a very welcome and valuable insight into ancient Philadelphia, one of the earliest Ptolemaic foundations in the Fayoum on reclaimed lands.' Professor Salima Ikram, The American University in Cairo 'This volume sets a new benchmark for archaeological publications in Roman Egypt. Its integration of architecture, burial practices, material culture, and mummy portraits in context makes it an essential resource for scholars of the ancient Mediterranean.' Dr Hesham Hussein, Supreme Council of Antiquities 'The data is brand new and contributes much to the field, particularly in relation to the site of Philadelphia and the funerary context of those buried there. It also presents the most up-to-date examples of mummy portraiture found in the Fayoum. It has the potential to reshape how we understand the meaning and purpose of mummy portrait panels and their owners.' Dr Louise O'Brien, University of Liverpool 'The study presents important new information about burials in Roman Egypt and shows the fusion of local Egyptian and Greco-Roman traditions in architecture and burial customs. The book offers valuable data for both archaeologists and historians interested in Graeco-Roman Egypt, burial traditions, and cultural exchange in ancient times.' Professor Youssri Abdelwahed, Minia University
