The Themistou Meris was the north-western administrative district of theOasis Fayoum in the Graeco-Roman Period, home of Greek speaking settlersand indigenous Egyptians, who lived side by side in villages, many ofthem newly founded by the first Ptolemaic Kings in the 3rd century BC.
The book is the result of an archaeological survey, and smallexcavations carried out between 2000 and 2016 in that part of theFayoum; it offers descriptions of archaeological remains, many of themnow under threat from land reclamation, gives information about thehistory and exact location of single sites, and values the excavations, which were undertaken there in the beginning of the 20th century, oftenwith the sole aim of finding papyri, while archaeological features wereneglected. The book seeks to combine the written and the archaeologicalevidence, offering new proposals for identifying ancient names withancient sites, and gives a panorama of the multicultural society of theancient Fayoum.
