Roman Egypt was a multiple and heterogeneous society that can be analyzed not only from the perspective of continuity elements with tradition from the pharaonic period but also with transformations resulting from the series of foreign conquests that were inflicted to the country. With royal ideology in Roman Egypt in mind, we aim to approach it taking into account two distinct views: Its value as an element of political propaganda used by its Roman governors and its use as a form of Egyptian resistance to foreign domination. A special element for our interpretation is the stele of Cornelius Gallus, first prefect of Alexandria and Egypt.
