520 8 Egypt under the Romans (30 BCE-3rd century CE) was a
period when local deserts experienced an unprecedented
flurry of activity. In the Eastern Desert, a marked
increase in desert traffic came from imperial prospecting/
quarrying activities and caravans transporting wares to
and from the Red Sea ports. In the Western Desert,
resilient camels slowly became primary beasts of burden in
desert travel, enabling caravaneers to lengthen daily
marching distances across previously inhospitable dunes.
Desert road archaeology has used satellite imaging,
landscape studies and network analysis to plot desert
trail networks with greater accuracy; however, it is often
difficult to date roadside installations and thus assess
how these networks evolved in scope and density in
reaction to climatic, social and technological change.
0Roads in the Deserts of Roman Egypt examines evidence for
desert roads in Roman Egypt and assesses Roman influence
on the road density in two select desert areas: the
central and southern section of the Eastern Desert and the
central Marmarican Plateau and discusses geographical and
social factors influencing road use in the period,
demonstrating that Roman overseers of these lands adapted
remarkably well to local desert conditions, improving
roads and developing the trail network. Crucially, the
author reconceptualises desert trails as linear corridor
structures that follow expedient routes in the desert
landscape, passing through at least two functional nodes
attracting human traffic, be those water sources,
farmlands, mines/quarries, trade hubs, military
installations or actual settlements.
