In the first centuries after the Roman occupation of Egypt the local laws and traditions of the Greek-speaking population were brought face to face with the demands and structures of the legal system of the Empire. The articles in this volume examine how the two interacted and are based upon extensive research into the Greek papyri. The opening studies show how the Greek ?lite was accommodated by the conquerors and investigate the persistence of a number of local practices. In the second part which centres upon the figure of the noted jurist Ulpian Professor M?l?ze-Modrzejewski looks at the impact of the Roman Empire while the final articles attempt to explain how the legal traditions of the Hellenised East survived the general extension of Roman citizenship by Caracalla in 212 AD.
