Siwa Oasis --ABBREVIATIONS --NOTES --BIBLIOGRAPHY --INDEXWhen Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire in 30 B.C. after the deaths of Antony and Cleopatra, its vast and mysterious frontier lands had an important impact on the commerce, politics, and culture of the empire. This engrossing book-part history and part gazetteer-focuses on Rome's Egyptian frontier, describing the ancient fortresses, temples, settlements, quarries, and aqueducts scattered throughout the region and conveying a vivid sense of what life was like for its inhabitants. Robert B. Jackson has journeyed, by jeep and on foot, to virtually every known Roman site in the area, from Siwa Oasis, forty-five kilometers from the modern Libyan border, to the Sudan. Drawing on both archaeological and historical information, he discusses these sites, explaining how Rome extracted exotic stone and precious metals from the mountains of the Eastern Desert, channeled the wealth of India and East Africa through the desert via ports on the Red Sea, constructed and manned fortresses in the distant oases of the Western Desert, and facilitated the expansion of agricultural communities in the desert that eventually experienced the earliest large-scale conversions to Christianity in Egypt. Elegantly written and illustrated with many handsome photographs, the book will be a treasured resource for archaeologists, classicists, and travelers to the region.RomansEgyptEgyptAntiquities, RomanEgyptBoundariesEgyptHistory30 B.C.-640 A.DRomans932/.022Jackson Robert B.1961-1493400MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777862003321At empire's edge3716374UNINA04979nam 2200565 450 991082480960332120230808191600.01-4930-1968-6(CKB)3710000000585315(EBL)4386748(MiAaPQ)EBC4386748(EXLCZ)99371000000058531520160213h20162016 uy 0engur|n|---|||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierBeer lover's New England best breweries, brewpubs & beer bars /Norman MillerSecond edition.Guilford, Connecticut :Globe Pequot,2016.[Place of distribution not identified] :National Book Network,[date of distribution not identified]©20161 online resource (361 p.)Beer Lovers,2168-1341Includes index.1-4930-0752-1 Introduction; How to Use This Guide; Glossary of Terms; New England Beer News & Reviews; Massachusetts; Breweries; Backlash Beer Company; Bad Martha Beer; Banner Beer Company; Berkley Beer Company; Berkshire Brewing Company; Big Elm Brewing; Blatant Brewery; Blue Hills Brewery; Bog Iron Brewing; Boston Beer Company; Brewmaster Jack; Cape Ann Brewing Company; Cape Cod Beer; Cisco Brewers; Clown Shoes Beer; Cody Brewing Company; Element Brewing Company; Glass Bottom Brewery; Goodfellow 's Brewing Company; Harpoon Brewery; High & Mighty Beer Company; Idle Hands Craft Ales LLCJack's Abby BrewingKretschmann Brewing Company; Lefty's Brewing Company; Mayflower Brewing Company; Mercury Brewing Company (Ipswich Ale Brewery ); Mystic Brewery; Nashoba Valley Winery; Newburyport Brewing Company; Night Shift Brewing; Notch Brewing; Paper City Brewing Company; Percival Beer Company; Pioneer Brewing Company; Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project; Rapscallion; RiverWalk Brewing Company; Scantic River Brewery; Slumbrew: Somerville Brewing Company; Spencer Brewery; Tree House Brewing Company; Trillium Brewing Company; Wachusett Brewing Company; Wandering Star Brewing CompanyWestfield River Brewing CompanyWormtown Brewing Company; Brewpubs; Amherst Brewing Company; Barrington Brewery & Restaurant; Beer Works; Cambridge Brewing Company; The Gardner Ale House; High Horse Brewing; John Harvard's Brew House; Northampton Brewery; Offshore Ale Company; Opa Opa Steakhouse & Brewery; The People's Pint; The Tap Brewpub; Watch City Brewing Company [closed]; Beer Bars; The Ale House; Armsby Abbey; British Beer Company; Bukowski's Tavern; Cambridge Common Restaurant; Deep Ellum; The Dive Bar; Green Street Grille; Horseshoe Pub & Restaurant; Jacob Wirth Restaurant; Lord HoboThe Moan and DoveMoe's Tavern; The Publick House & Monk's Cell; Sierra Grille; Sunset Grill & Tap; Yard House; Maine; Breweries; Allagash Brewing Company; Andrew's Brewing Company; Atlantic Brewing Company; Banded Horn Brewing Company; Bar Harbor Brewing Company; Baxter Brewing Company; Belfast Bay Brewing Company; Bissell Brothers; Black Bear Microbrewery; Boothbay Craft Brewery; Bunker Brewing Company; D.L.
