DESCRIPTION:With the linguistic history of Egypt writ large on objects
  and monuments\, individuals of the Ptolemaic and Roman periods (ca. 4
 th cent. BCE to 4th cent. CE) were constantly confronted by visual rec
 ords of the past. Temples in particular were spaces where rulers and e
 lite had been displaying their religious piety while also affirming po
 litical allegiances or exhibiting their social status for millennia. T
 he Egyptian temples of the pharaonic period provided templates for the
  massive construction projects that were underwritten by foreign ruler
 s during the first millennium BCE. However\, the unique innovations in
  architecture and decoration of those same buildings are a testament t
 o the changing dynamics of post-pharaonic Egypt. This talk will focus 
 on the function of inscriptions and reliefs placed within Egyptian tem
 ples.
