Maiken Mosleth King explores the ‘The Commemoration of Women in Roman Egypt’ in funerary images at Roman Terenouthis.

Her research interests include gender and ethnicity in the ancient Mediterranean, material culture in Roman provinces, and reception studies.

She is also Secretary-Treasurer of the Friends of the Petrie Museum, UCL.
She completed her PhD thesis, “Social Identity as Constructed and Expressed on Funerary Stelae from Terenouthis”, at the University of Bristol, and is working on turning this thesis into a monograph.

Maiken completed her BA ad MA in Egyptology at the University of Liverpool, specialising in ancient Egyptian language and literary texts. She has a wide range of research interests, including language, religion and cross-cultural contacts in the ancient Near East.

This lecture will look at the funerary images and epitaphs of women in Roman Terenouthis, and examine how these objects drew from Graeco-Roman artistic conventions whilst also facilitating the women’s identification with Hathor and their resurrection in the kingdom of Osiris.

The site is a fascinating case study for cultural change and continuity in the Roman world, and how the Roman conquest impacted ordinary people in the provinces.

Terenouthis, a town in the Western Delta gained prosperity in the Roman period due to its economic role as a major exporter of natron. A new local elite emerged after the conquest, seeking to participate in Graeco-Roman culture whilst also maintaining their ancient traditions.
