What is Roman Egypt: Culture and Christianity about?
Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire in 30 BC following the defeat of Marc Antony and Cleopatra VII by Octavian. Alexandria became an important trade center as luxuries were in high demand in Rome. Christianity took root in Egypt in the first century AD and eventually won out, leading to legislation in 391 AD that banned pagan rites and closed temples.
