The position of Egypt changed from the Greek Period to the Roman Period, during the Greek Period, Egypt was the center of the ruler and Alexandria was the capital, and the Ptolemaic rulers were still in Egypt. But during the Roman era, the Emperor used to appoint a perfect to rule Egypt and the Roman Emperor himself stays in Rome.

On the other hand, and unlike the Greeks, the Romans were influenced by the Egyptians, they believed in mummification as well as the Egyptian gods. The Roman Emperors depicted themselves as pharaohs.
