About this title

Review

This is not only an excellent addition to the OSRE series, but also an important work in the scholarship of Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt, and to ancient economic, enviromental, and social history in general. (Matt Gibbs, Hermathena)

the book is of import to anyone interested in how the physical environment shapes economic, social, and cultural concerns in Egypt and beyond. Scholars in different fields will surely benefit from Blouin's contribution to and her reshaping of this timely and ongoing discussion. (Eleni Manolaraki, Bryn Mawr Classical Review)

Blouin's work is exemplary of the new Papyrology and is very well contextualized within the New Environmental History. (J.G. Manning, Topoi 20)

highly recommend this book to anyone interested in agricultural regimes (Penelope Wilson, Phoenix)

In this well-structured and reader-friendly book, Blouin has placed our understanding of the Roman Nile Delta on an entirely more secure footing. (Jane Rowlandson, Journal of Roman Studies)
