Label TextAfter the defeat of Cleopatra VII by Octavian (the future Augustus Caesar) in 30 BCE, Egypt became one of Rome's wealthiest provinces and was closely connected to the wider empire. As people. goods, and ideas moved across the Roman world, new artistic styles and media mixed with established Egyptian cultural expressions. Egyptian gods began to take on forms that blended Egyptian, Greek, and Roman elements.Exhibition HistoryFrom Pharaohs to Emperors: New Egyptian and Classical Antiquities at Emory, Michael C.
