Texts (often personal letters) written on papyrus and other materials, objects of everyday use and funerary portraits have survived from the Graeco-Roman period of Egyptian history. But much of this unparalleled resource has been available only to specialists because of the difficulty of reading and interpreting it. Now eleven leading scholars in this field have collaborated to make available to students and other non-specialists a selection of over three hundred texts translated from Greek and Egyptian, as well as more than fifty illustrations, documenting the lives of women within this society, from queens to priestesses, property-owners to slave-girls, from birth through motherhood to death. Each item is accompanied by full explanatory notes and bibliographical references.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54944783991157,"sku":"9780521588157","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780521588157.jpg?v=1737625279","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.info\/products\/9780521588157","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
