EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic meeting between Augustus Caesar, the first Roman Emperor, and the Tiburtine Sibyl as she prophesies the coming of Jesus. The image is a chromolithograph reproduction of a 16th-century miniature found in Historia romana excerpta ex libris Pauli Orosii. In this momentous scene, Augustus stands tall and regal, representing the might and power of ancient Rome. His gaze is fixed upon the ethereal figure of the Sibyl, who appears to be delivering an important message with utmost conviction. With her hand raised towards heaven and her eyes filled with divine knowledge, she announces to Augustus that Jesus Christ will soon grace humanity with his presence. The juxtaposition of these two iconic figures - one symbolizing worldly authority and dominance, while the other embodies spiritual enlightenment - creates a sense of anticipation for what lies ahead. It serves as a powerful reminder that even mighty emperors are subject to higher forces beyond their control. This image not only captures a significant historical event but also highlights how religion played an integral role in shaping ancient Rome's culture and beliefs. It serves as a testament to both Augustus' reign as well as Christianity's emergence during this pivotal period in history. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back in time to witness this extraordinary encounter between emperor and prophetess – an encounter that would forever change the course of human history.
