Archaeological site in the Egyptian depression of el-Faiyum
Map of Fayum from 1895.
Karanis (Koinē Greek: Καρανίς), located in what is now Kom Oshim, was an agricultural town in the Ptolemaic Kingdom, and Roman Egypt located in the northeast corner of the Faiyum.[1] It was roughly 60 hectares in size and its peak population is estimated to be 4000 people, although it could have been as much as three times greater.[2] Karanis was one of a number to towns in the Arsinoite nome established in the third century BC by Ptolemy II Philadephus, and lasted until the 6th century AD. Though Karanis declined in the late Ptolmaic period, in the first century BC, the town expanded north when Augustus, having conquered Egypt and also recognizing the Faiyum's agricultural potential, sent workers to clean up the canals and restore the dikes that had fallen into decline, restoring productivity to the area.[3]
