Expanding the Ancient World is a series of professional development workshops and online resources for teachers. Ancient Trimithis was one of many medium-sized cities in the Roman Empire; but unlike most, it was located right in the middle of Egypt’s inhospitable Western Desert, hundreds of kilometers from the Nile Valley, one of the driest places on earth. In this workshop we will explore how people adapted to and thrived in this harsh and changing environment by studying the results from NYU’s Amheida Excavations in Egypt’s Dakhla Oasis.

Expanding the Ancient World is a series of professional development workshops and online resources for teachers. As the Roman Empire expanded into the Eastern Mediterranean, the city of Rome became a crossroads of new products, peoples, and religions. Much to the dismay of some Roman authors, the capital transformed into a multi-religious city, home to cults and communities from Egypt, Syria, Anatolia, Judaea-Palestina, and beyond. Within this diverse landscape, religious groups both preserved their traditions and adapted to life in Rome.

It is difficult to teach nomadic history for several reasons: many nomadic cultures did not leave textual records of their own history, nomadic settlement patterns diverge from those of "Classical Cultures" such as the ancient Greeks or Egyptians, and most students today do not have first-hand experience of traditional nomadic lifeways.
