EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Egyptian relief of Emperor Augustus, the Roman ruler, depicted as a Pharaoh offering homage to the goddess Isis. Created in the 1st century, this remarkable piece can be found at the renowned Egyptian Museum in Berlin. The image portrays a male figure, believed to be Emperor Augustus himself, standing barechested and semi-naked on a ship sailing through tranquil waters. The relief carving is rich in color and detail, highlighting the intricate artistry of ancient Egypt. It symbolizes the fusion of two powerful civilizations - Rome and Egypt - as Augustus assumes both his Roman title and adopts traditional Egyptian customs by presenting offerings to Isis. As one gazes upon this historic artifact, it becomes evident that religion played a significant role during this era. The sculpture exudes an air of majesty and sovereignty associated with monarchs of that time. With its depiction of royalty and divine deities, it offers us a glimpse into the religious beliefs and cultural practices prevalent during this period. This photograph transports us back to ancient Egypt where art served as an expression of devotion towards gods and rulers alike. It serves as a testament to our fascination with history's treasures while reminding us how interconnected different civilizations were even centuries ago.
