The second popular museum next to the Egyptian museum is the Greco-Roman One at Alexandria. It manifests the blend of the Egyptian and Greek cult in art is an amazing  harmony.

 

The Greek God in a human form amalgamated with the Egyptian one in an animal form (sacred bull) produced the God Sera-Apes.

One of the features of the Greek faces was the curly hair. at the 5th century BC. men and women used to have their hair in locks. even beards but in a pointed shape.

 

 

 

The Nile continued to play a great roll in life in Egypt during the Greco-Roman era. As they made Nile measures in the Pharoanic time, they also did in the later periods. As represented in the form of a man with folds of fat as a sign of prosperously, in the Greek time, represented as a lady attended by little children that represented fertility that the river grants.

 

 

The Tanagra statues is collection of models manifesting the style of dresses that ladies used to be dressed in and style of hair dressing of the Greeks. the most famous city of the Greek ones in the ancient time was Tanagra. the best collection in a museum in the world is the one of Alexandria.
