Egypt (Roman province)
The
Roman province of Egypt
(, ;
Aigyptos
) was established in 30 BC after
Octavian
(the future
emperor
Augustus
) defeated his rival
Mark Antony
, deposed his lover Queen
Cleopatra VII
and annexed the
Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt
to the
Roman Empire
. The
province
encompassed most of modern-day
Egypt
except for the
Sinai Peninsula
(which would later be conquered by
Trajan
). Aegyptus was bordered by the provinces of
Creta et Cyrenaica
to the West and
Iudaea
(later
Arabia Petraea
) to the East.
