Accompanying an exhibition held at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, from September 2004 to May 2005, this volume contains more than one hundred objects which reflect the earliest episode of Egyptomania. Sally-Ann Ashton explores the Egyptian objects that were taken to and received in Italy and how this spawned a tradition of copying elements of this exotic and alien culture, as well as the development of existing cultural and artistic traditions in Egypt under Roman rule. Her discussion of these different forms of acculturation is set alongside beautifully photographed objects from the exhibition.
