M.J. Versluys and P.G.P. Meyboom are both Assistant Professor in
Classical Archaeology at Leiden University and have widely
published on the Nile Mosaic of Palestrina ; the meaning of Nilotic
scenes in the Roman world and other aspects of Roman visual

'Nile into Tiber' is a very rich and rewarding volume, and it is
well worth working through, for all ancient historians will find
something of value in its pages. - J.G. Manning, Yale University.

The study of Egyptian cultural and religious influence in the
classical Mediterranean has developed immeasurably over the last
generation, and the ‘Religions in the Graeco-Roman World’ series
has done much to nurture this growth. The present volume – the
proceedings of the third international conference of Isis Studies –
takes stock of current scholarship on the varied forms of Roman
Aegyptiaca, offers some cogent observations on the parameters of
this study, and suggests some persuasive routes for further
research. (-) an admirably thorough examination of the complexities
of religious acculturation, and an impressive survey of the
different approaches that may be taken to the study of this
problem. (-) This is a useful and often thought-provoking
collection of essays. - A. Merrills, The Classical Review 59 (2009)
262-265.
(-) this third conference reflects a number of new foci in research
on the Egyptian cults. The various discussions break once and for
all with the idea that Aegyptiaca must necessarily be linked to the
presence of Alexandrian cults. (-) the contributions reflect an
increasing complexity in the interpretation of both Aegyptiaca and
Egyptian cults, particularly in their emphasis on the essential
role of context. Finally, a recurring theme in this volume, and an
increasing focus in the field in general, is the role of Aegyptiaca
in the wider context of Roman imperialism. - U. Rothe, The Journal
of Roman Studies 98 (2008) 217-219
Die einzelnen Analysen sind hoher fachlicher Kompetenz und zeigen
darüber hinaus auch die erweiterten Interpretationsmöglichkeiten
einzelner Aspekte der antiken Kultur im Rahmen einer
interdisziplinären Zusammenarbiet verschiedener Wissenschafszweige
auf. (-) Die hier publizierten, umfassenden Forschungsergebnisse
werden diese Tagungsband unverzichtbar machen für jede weitere
Beschäftigung mit dem Phänomen der grenzüberschreitenden
Ausbreitung und Adaption des ägyptischen Isiskultus. - J. Moje,
PalArch’s Journal of Archaeology of Egypt/Egyptology (2007)
(-) gli autori riescono a toccare tematiche sempre interessante.
Questi atti toccano sia aspetti generali di interesse generale per
tutti gli studiosi dei culti isiaci, che tematiche più locali che
soddisfano sopratutto i recercatori che si occupano del
Mediterraneo orientale, fornendo comunque interessanti confronti
utili a tutti. - A. Gavini, I culti isiaci nell’impero romano:
status quaestionis e nuove prospettive, Journal of Roman
Archaeology 21 (2008) 515-518
