Özet

Egypt appears as a large domain geography in the Mediterranean in all periods. Especially substantially grain supply of Greece and Rome from Egypt had increased the contact with the aforementioned region. Therefore also the regions located in the transition route between the east and the west in the Mediterranean had to take place in this relation. In this article the economic, socio-cultural, political, religious, military, touristic, and educational relations of Pamphylia with Egypt and Cyprus have been denoted. Being in the transition route of Pamphylia in the Mediterranean trade had facilitated joining the region in this trade from the earliest times onwards. The Ptolemaic control on the region had also increased the interactions. Especially in this period many Pamphylians are documented in Cyprus. Current contacts and interactions have continued in the Roman Period as a result of peace in the Mediterranean.
