If you want to know about the background image on this page ......
An aid in the study of the Ptolemaic (Macedonian-based Greek), Roman Imperial (Greco-Roman), and Byzantine rulers of Egypt based in Alexandria, this portal site is intended for all classicists and students of Hellenistic history. The House of Ptolemy web site concentrates on the Ptolemies and their world, from 331 - 30 BCE. However, since the histories of Greek rule and subsequent Roman rule overlap (and do so again later with Byzantine rule) this site includes Roman rule in Egypt, and the Byzantine rule that followed. During this almost 1000 years the dominant culture ['Hellenistic'] started as a Greek core with added native Egyptian and other foreign elements. These elements were both blended and kept distinctly separate, sometimes overlying the Greek core incompletely so that today scholars can focus on the Greek facets, the native Egyptian facets, the other outside influences, or all of these together when they discuss The House of Ptolemy and its legacies.
The House of Ptolemy Web Site is an annotated information portal. Citations are presented generally with some comment. In a few cases minor web offerings or publications may be treated with (almost) the same importance as the most important and eloquent web offerings. However, I will try if at all possible to direct the viewer to the web sites or pages that present quality information. There are some descriptions of the linked materials (abstracts) to use but in some cases you might have to glean the content of a web publication just from its title or URL.
XAIPE!
With these caveats I hope this web-focused bibliographic hub can be an aid in your research.
Please feel free to contact me with any comments or new web sites to include.
