This book draws together the records from the excavations in the area of the Meroitic temple complex at Qasr Ibrim that took place mainly in the 1970s.

This is the only major temple complex in Lower Nubia excavated in modern times.

This volume provides an account of the excavations, as well as studies of the temple's painted decoration, the numerous graffiti on its walls and floors, and its fixtures and fittings, including several monumental Meroitic stelae.

It highlights the role of the temple as a point of contact between Roman Egypt and the Meroitic Sudanese state.
