100 B.C. to 600 A.D.
After the battle of Actium, the once Greek held Egypt was under Roman rule. The Romans wanted Egypt for the same reasons that the Greeks did. Egypt had also recently turned into a center for trade which only added to its desirability. When the Romans took over, the Egyptians were allowed to keep their customs, but the already Greek influenced people easily took to the Roman ways. Slowly the Ancient Egyptian culture died out, and through the other conquerors that came after the Romans, Egypt developed into the county that we now know.
That stinks for the egyptians it sounded like every body wanted it. It had fertile soil and was the center of trade.
