Cos’è Kom Oshim e perché Karanis è importante?

Kom Oshim is the modern mound containing the ruins of ancient Karanis, one of Fayoum’s major Greco-Roman agricultural settlements. The source article dates its foundation to the 3rd century BCE under Ptolemy II Philadelphus as part of agricultural development around ancient Lake Moeris, now Lake Qarun.

Karanis prosperò successivamente sotto il dominio romano, con abitazioni a più piani, granai, frantoi, terme pubbliche e santuari religiosi. L’ambiente desertico secco ha conservato papiri, tessuti, legno, cuoio e vetro, offrendo agli archeologi testimonianze eccezionalmente dettagliate sulla vita quotidiana provinciale.
