Saturday, Adam Bülow-Jacobsen was one of the scholars giving a paper at a theme-day on “Roman Egypt” held in the association of classical archaeologists (Danish: Klassisk Arkæologisk Forening) in Aarhus, Denmark. He was especially concerned with the road between Coptos (on the Nile) and Berenike (at the Red Sea) and the Praesidia, like road-stations, on this road.
Being a papyrologist Bülow-Jacobsen was not so much concerned with road-construction, but more with “literary” finds. It was interesting to follow his work on the road system in the eastern desert, though.
For more information please check out what Troels Myrup Kristensen, who also gave a paper here, writes on his blog.
