The Dromos was the walkway into the ruins of an Egyptian temple within the town of Soknopaiou Nesos in Faiyum, Egypt, during the 1st century BCE.
Around 48 BCE the Medjay Bayek of Siwa visited the location, finding food scraps and Greek wine.[1]. A Greek local the Medjay talked to believed a recently deceased man had brought the "Curse of Wadjet" on himself by having a feast on the dromos, despite others telling him that it was sacrilege.[2]
