Summary:	"This work by Günther Hölbl, an Egyptologist and a world expert on relations between Egypt and the Mediterranean in the early centuries of the 1st millennium BCE, focuses on imports to eastern Sicily, a land of contacts from the Mycenaean period, extending to the Greek-Sicel area and the western part of the island. It thus joins the author's preceding studies on the Aegyptiaca of central and southern Italy, Phoenician and Punic Sardinia and the Maltese islands. The book considers the imports from the land of the Nile and Egyptianizing objects of other origins, discovered in sites in Greek and Greek-influenced Sicily. Alongside exceptional finds such as the fragments of a Ramesses II vase from Siracusa, a bronze situla and an extraordinary falcon in Egyptian blue, both found at Selinunte, it examines the Egyptian scarabs from tombs of the second half of the 8th century BCE (Villasmundo, near Siracusa), numerous scarabs of Aegean and some of Phoenician production with Egyptian motifs, vases, amulets (including some beautiful cowrie shells) and statuettes in Egyptian of varying origin dating to the 7th century, together with the products of the Greek settlement of Naukratis in the Nile delta (6th century BCE)"--Publisher.
