This chapter draws on material from the whole book together to assess the role of transport in the economy of Egypt. It draws conclusions about how transport in Egypt was affected by topography, and how this promoted the dominance of pack animals. It shows how the Roman state controlled and used a central resource of the province, essentially the meeting of the public and private spheres. It argues for a far more positive attitude towards stance on the role of transport in the Roman economy and that economic enterprise was not hindered by transport costs.
