Event Details

Egypt, the most ancient of the Mediterranean civilizations, held a fascination for the ancient Romans. This program explores the artistic interplay and partisan cultural influence between these two great civilizations- Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt. Learn how mummification was kept in style once the Romans conquered the land, but with a classical spin, and how the two sets of gods merged together to form a third set with characteristics familiar to both cultures. Part three of a three part ancient culture series.
