Religious life and belief in Egypt, Greek Romanian

The inhabitants of Egypt in the Greco-Roman Mveja make up of nationalities and different elements such as the Jews and the Syrians and the Phoenicians and Libyans and others, along with the Egyptians

As a result, a mixture of faiths and religions, Greek, Egyptian, Asian, Romanian and finally Christian

At least I have to follow these religions of the Romans in the tolerant policy to practice their religion as long as no experience with their loyalty to the state has not been tough with the Jews and Christians only when they resisted the authority Romanian

I respect the Greeks and Romans, the Egyptian religion and freedom of establishment of the Egyptians in their rituals and building temples and repair what was destroyed them. We also find that the Ptolemies walked on what was followed by the Pharaohs and Kings took the same titles and pharaonic painted on the same images in temples, which legitimizes the authority of the emperor in the eyes of the Egyptians. Well as the development of the Ptolemaic kings and Roman clergy under their control for their influence to curb their powers and become more here in the era of the Romans did not allow for the priests only grow agricultural areas enough to provide the needs of the temples, only then put the temple under the supervision of the central authority so as to reduce the activity of the priests to incite Egyptians against the Greeks or Romans

Greeks work to earn the Greeks and the Egyptians gained Balchbh Greek religion of the deification of kings automation official priests and their names chronicling the documents and admitted to an official religion Greek religion and allowed the administration of religious rites and ceremonies and the establishment of temples and their gods, likened to the Egyptian gods and Egyptian gods to draw closer to the big

As well as respect the Romans freedom of the Egyptians in the faith and care for the temples and drawing emperors themselves Pharaohs and imitate them at the same time, which was mixed with the tenets of Egyptian beliefs and Greek, we find that Isis was worshiped and spread her worship in the world, along with other gods and tied between the Apis bull and the goddess Serapis and use the emperors, the principle of automation of the Kings of the establishment cult for them to help them control of the peoples of the Empire

When Christianity began in Egypt, the late first century the Romans began to date in fear of the status of the emperor did not participate in Christian worship the official state. Whereas Christianity rejects the ancient religions as well as the emperor's sacred person, should be reclassified Movement against Astsalha. Began the era of persecution of Christianity and Christians since 1964. Was promulgated is not to convert to Christianity and was the most violent persecution in the era of Diocletian until it was recognized as an official religion in 282 AD
