EES Seminar with Martina Minas-Nerpel

On Saturday 29 January, EES Trustee Dr Martina Minas-Nerpel of the University of Swansea led a well-attended EES Seminar at Doughty Mews. The subject of the Seminar was 'Establishing Roman Rule in Egypt: Augustus between Egyptian Ideology and Political Reality' and Martina provided fascinating insights into this pivotal period in Egypt's history and the way it was reflected in the temples constructed at the time. She also talked about the work of the Swansea/Leuven epigraphic expedition recording the Roman temple of Shanhur in Upper Egypt.
