• Resumen

  • In Roman and Byzantine Egypt horses are mentioned in documents of various types, from sales to letters. They were mostly used for the cavalry, horse racing and various “public” functions. They are remembered in private letters and in proskynemata almost as family members. In case of need, horses were entrusted to the care of veterinary specialists (hippoiatroi).
