It was part of the Roman Empire. A province of Rome. Anyone born to the Roman Empire a freeman, or a citizen, could have traveled the Empire.

It's like England at it's height. An Englishman could travel the world and still stand on English soil, held by the Crown.

What's more they probably traveled on Roman roads, guarded by Roman soldiers, built and funded by Roman taxes. In short, it was all Rome. Egypt existed to feed Rome. It was Rome's granary.
