Chester Beatty and Online, Wednesday 19th July
Out of Egypt Lecture Series
While the Biblical texts are the mοst famous of Chester Beatty’s papyrological holdings, the museum also possesses remarkable unpublished documents of the same period that deal with various aspects of life on the land and in the small towns of Roman Egypt. This lecture will present some of these exciting new discoveries.
