	Aegyptus Province - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aegyptus was, in ancient geography, a province of the Roman Empire, encompassing most of modern-day Egypt except for the Sinai Peninsula.
		Both the provinces of Cyrenaica to the west and Arabia to the east bordered Aegyptus.
		The most revolutionary event in the history of Aegyptus was the introduction of Christianity in the 2nd century.

	Aegyptus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Greek mythology, Aegyptus, or properly Aígyptos in Greek ("supine goat"), was the king of Egypt (which took its name from his, according to folk etymology; see the article Copt), the son of Belus and father of fifty sons who were all but one murdered by the fifty daughters of Aegyptus' twin brother, Danaus.
		Aegyptus commanded that his sons marry the Danaides and Danaus fled to Argos, ruled by King Pelasgus.
		Aegyptus is also the Latin spelling of Egypt, and the correct denomination for the Roman province.

	Roman Governor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		In the provinces with a significant legionary presence, the governor's second-in-command was usually a quaestor, a man elected in Rome and sent to the province to serve a mainly financial role, but who could command the military with the governor's approval.
		However, provinces that lay on the Republic’s boarders, thereby requiring a permanent military garrison, were governed by proconsuls who had served a term as consul the year before their governorship.
		However, in provinces with more than one legion, each legion was commanded by its own legate with praetorian imperium, while the province as a whole was commanded by a legate with consular imperium, who had general command over the entire army stationed there, as well as administering the province as a proconsul.

		Provinces were generally governed by politicians of senatorial rank, usually former consuls or former praetors.
		During the Empire, the biggest or more garrisoned provinces (example Pannonia and Moesia) were subdivided into smaller provinces in order to prevent the situation whereby a sole governor held too much power in his hands, thus discouraging ambition for the Imperial throne itself.
		The remaining provinces were maintained as Senatorial provinces, in which the Senate had the right to appoint a governor.

	The World of the Imperium Romanum
		The province is divided into three districts: the Delta, the Heptanomia, and the Thebais (with the attached Dodecaschoenus, a frontier region beyond the first cataract, something of a buffer between Ægyptus and Kush).
		The province as a whole is governed by a prefect of equestrian rank (as opposed to most Imperial provinces, governed by military procurators of senatorial status).
		Without it, the province would be entirely desert; as it is, the desert encroaches close but the land thrives near the river — the delta's marshy land supports papyrus growth, the area around Lake Moeris is fertile, and grain is grown on a narrow strip of land on either side of the river.

		(A later exception was the province of Egypt, incorporated by Augustus after the death of Cleopatra - it was ruled by a governor of equestrian rank only, perhaps as a discouragement to senatorial ambition).
		Normally, the provinces where more trouble was expected - either from barbaric invasions or internal rebellions - were given to former consuls, men of the greatest prestige and experience.
		Diocletian's original 12 dioceses (each under a Vicarius) also persisted, but three more were created by splits in the fourth century (in the Western empire Italia was split in two and in the east Egypt was detached from Oriens).

	Provincial Government of the Roman Empire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		In provinces with one legion, the legate in charge of the province (normally of praetorian rank) also controlled the legion himself.
		In provinces with more than one legion, like the Germanies, Syria and Cappadocia, each legion was commanded by its own legate of praetorian rank, while the province as a whole was commanded by a legate of consular rank who could dictate general control over the entire army stationed there.
		Much like the Senatorial province of Africa, the equestrian province of Aegyptus was an exception to the rule of Legions stationed only in Imperial provinces.

	RE: SC Servilia Aemilia Bibliotheca
		The manuscripts in the Library of Alexandria should be copied before removal, and I propose at the cost be burdened by Aegyptus Province.
		It is prudent on our part to take the necessary measures to bring peace to Aegyptus while we watch the civil war in Illium unfold so as to limit the number of war theaters that we must operate in at a single time.
		Aegyptus Province was not taken by means of conquest.

	Potters on Record
		The pool of slaves had shrunk appreciably by then, and the daily lot of much of the Roman citizenry was moving towards serfdom, amid an oppressive amount of State bureaucracy and local taxation.
		One mid-3rd century A.D. papyrus from the Egyptian town of Oxyrhynchus, which was then the capital of the Aegyptus province, describes how a potter leased an estate's workshop, so that he could provide the estate's owner with some 18,000 wine amphorae of various capacities over a period of two years.
		Leases of this kind were in effect labor contracts, and have parallels with various rental agreements of the day, including those which allowed cropping in the vineyard itself, in exchange for some cash and some in-kind payment of wine and other provisions.

		But Egypt's alliance him spelt the end of their independence, once Octavian had triumphed at the decisive battle of Actium in 30 BC.
		And so Egypt was annexed as a Roman province.
		Such was its importance to the empire due to its wealth and power that it was kept under direct rule of the emperor, Roman senators in fact needing permission by the emperor even to set foot in it.

	A Reply
		I stated, quite clearly, that such border crossing is "only permissible if approved by the province's magistrate." The governor of Cyrenaica MUST APPROVE any legions entering the province from Aegyptus and vice versa.
		And if the magistrate of the province feels they are no longer needed their invitation can be ended.
		Repeatedly we have seen when a province is invaded we do not sit by and prevent our forces from helping push back the invasion simply because their is a political line in place.

		If any part of northern Kuwait was part of the short-lived province of Mesopotamia, created by emperor Trajan, I am unsure.
		With emperor Trajan's annexation of part of the kingdom of Nabatea as the Roman province of Arabia Petraea, a small part of the Red Sea coast of Saudia Arabia became part of the Roman empire.
		To what extent the Roman province of Aegyptus extended into Sudan I am unsure of.

	Africa Province
		Most of the province fell into Roman hands at the end of the Second Punic War, with the entire province conquered in the Third Punic War.
		Most likely the citizens in 'civilized' Rome began calling the entire northern African coast Africa, eventually spreading the name to the continent.
		The Arabs later named roughly the same region Ifriqiya, a rendering of "Africa."

		Any maneuver a regular army can perform, they can perform, so expect anything.
		Fortunately, you won't encounter them often until you're promoted to Emperor; if you choose to invade one of their home provinces, expect a long, arduous campaign.
		Since their own tactics are so flexible, and their fighting proficiency so great, your best option is simple numerical superiority.
