Alexandria - The Graeco-Roman Museum |
|
| |
| |
The collection, which covers the period from the
3rd century BC to the 7th century AD, is a
fascinating record of a civilization in the
process of change as religions merged and society
evolved. In Alexandria, Graeco-Roman and pharaonic
religions mingled in the cult of Serapes; the
shift from pagan religions to Christianity can
also be seen in the exhibits which include
mummies, Hellenistic statues, busts of Roman
emperors, Tanagra figurines and early Christian
antiquities. |
