520 The ancient town discovered at the site of today's Marina
el-Alamein (located on the northern coast of Egypt)
developed from the 2nd century BC to the 6th century AD.
It found itself at the crossroads of several civilisations
: Hellenic, later replaced by Roman, and ultimately
Christian, and was always strongly influenced by Egyptian
tradition. A variety of cultures appeared and met here and
grew in strength - then their significance weakened - but
they always co-existed and influenced one another. The
syncretism prevailing here is notable in the spheres of
art, architecture, religion and worship. 2015 marked
thirty years since the discovery of the remains of the
ancient city, which, for many centuries, had been unknown
to the world. The remains were found unexpectedly during
the preparatory work for the construction of a modern
tourist settlement on the Mediterranean coast, and the
significance and extraordinary value of the discovery was
immediately recognised. Now the ancient city, and the
historic remains of its buildings, are gradually coming to
light. The Jubilee was twofold, since 2015 marked also the
20th anniversary of the setting up of the Polish-Egyptian
Conservation Mission, Marina el-Alamein. Throughout this
time, both architectural and archaeological research have
been carried out at the site, many discoveries have been
made, numerous relics of historic building structures have
been preserved, and conservation methods have been
improved. In the jubilee year, researchers who work on
archaeological sites and towns with a similar history and
position in the ancient world in the realms of art and
culture were invited to contribute to a scientific
discussion and exchange of experiences. The contributors
were representatives of different disciplines and research
methodologies: archaeologists, architects, Egyptologists,
specialists in religious studies, historians and
conservators. The papers in the present volume encompass
interdisciplinary reviews of both new and long-term
studies carried out in various regions of the ancient
world. The papers present research that was conducted in
different regions ranging from ancient Mauritania, through
Africa, Egypt, Cyprus, Palestine, Syria, as well as sites
in Crimea and Georgia. The topography of cities, the
architecture of public buildings, as well as houses and
their décor -- architectural, sculptural and painted --
are presented. Religious syncretism and the importance of
ancient texts are discussed. Studies on pottery are also
presented. The volume includes studies on the conservation
of architectural remains, sculpture and painting. Several
articles are devoted to the study of Marina el-Alamein;
others talk about ancient Alexandria, Deir el-Bahari,
Hermopolis Magna, Bakchias, Pelusium, Kom Wasit, Berenike,
Ptolemais, Apollonia, Palmyra, Nea Paphos, as well as
Chersonesus Taurica and Apsarus
