Alexandria
Myth, Meaning, and Memory on Roman Sarcophagi
This study of the role of Greek mythology in Roman funerary art examines two myths (Aphrodite and Adonis, Selene and Endymion) not only with respect to their appearance on Roman sarcophagi, but also with regard to the myths' significance in the greater fabric of Roman life. Moving beyond the examination of these sarcophagi as artistic achievements, the book sets them in their broader historical and social contexts. Remembrance was an important fa…
The Stagni Painted Tomb
This article interprets the architectural and pictorial program of the Stagni Tomb—excavated in Alexandria in 1989—as indicative of both cultural interchange and gender-specific decoration in Roman-period Alexandrian funerary art. It suggests that the tomb's fusion of classical and Egyptian subjects and style—which are combined in a manner original to the Stagni Tomb—demonstrates the exchange of cultural material between the two major ethnic grou…

Alexandria and Alexandrianism
The Tomb from Tigrane Pasha Street and the Iconography of Death in Roman Alexandria
In this article the author argues that a tomb from Tigrane Pasha Street in Alexandria, which is dated by the architectural conceit of its decorated central dome to the Hadrianic period, is a tangible consequence of the interwoven strands of social and cultural ideologies that shaped Roman Alexandria. It is furthermore proposed that the Classical, Egyptian, and notably Alexandrian elements that the tomb incorporates in its decorative program have …

Laconian Black Figure in Egypt
Laconian pottery was imported into Egypt possibly as early as the seventh century, but almost all the Laconian black-figured vases found there date to the second quarter of the sixth century. All are most likely from Naukratis, and of the 34 black-figured vessels, 18 can be attributed to the Boreads Painter. The strong showing of the Boreads Painter at Naukratis may reflect the ties of that city with Samos, where over half the vases attributed to…
Early Attic Black Figure Vases in Egypt
Attica, which first produced black-figured vases in the last quarter of the seventh century B.C., by the mid-sixth was the leading exporter of painted pottery in the Greek world. Fragments of Attic black-figured vases excavated in Egypt indicate that Egypt played an early and perhaps significant role in the expansion of the pottery industry of Attica; for Egypt, specifically the Greek commercial center of Naukratis, is the earliest major overseas…
