Historic LoDo: In Egyptian Alexandria (founded as a Greek city), both Egyptian and Greek architectural elements are found in its monumental tombs. Dr. Marjorie Venit, PhD, University of Maryland, Department of Art History and Archaeology, will walk us through the history of these combined decorative elements and the “end of the world” theological climate existing at the time which allowed for this convergence.
