New archaeological and literary discoveries and the startling diversity of ancient Alexandria (so reminiscent of some modern cities) add to the interest. The present volume contains the papers given at a conference at Columbia University in 2002 which attempted to lay some of the foundations for a new history of Alexandria by considering, in particular, its position between the traditions and life of Egypt on the one hand, and on the other the immigrants who came there from Greece and elsewhere in the wake of the founder Alexander of Macedon. 410 0$aColumbia Studies in the Classical Tradition ;$v26. 606 $aAlexandria (Egypt)$yHistory 607 $aPtolemaic Egypt 615 0$aAlexandria (Egypt) 676 $a932 702 $aHarris$b William V. 702 $aRuffini$b Giovanni 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819354803321 996 $aAncient Alexandria between Egypt and Greece$91090397 997 $aUNINA
