Tale of Love and Death in Roman Egypt

Recommended Posts

During the Ptolemaic era Tuna EI-Gabal was the necropolis of Ashmounein, where one can still see some intact tombs which closely resemble modern houses and which are adorned with beautiful designs that are a blend of Egyptian and Greek arts.

 

Tuna EI-Gabal is also the site of an immortal, almost two-thousand year old love story (120 AD), about Isadora, whom the doyen of Arabic literature Taha Hussein wrote about in his masterpiece
