Disapproval Enters Holies Jerusalem Pompeius Pompey Priests
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a pivotal moment in ancient history - Pompey's daring entrance into the Holy of Holies at the temple in Jerusalem. The scene is filled with tension as the Roman general, Pompeius, defies convention and enters the sacred inner sanctum much to the disapproval of the Jewish priests. This event took place in 63 BCE and marked a significant clash between Roman power and religious authority.
The image beautifully conveys the grandeur of the temple, with its intricate architecture and ornate decorations serving as a backdrop to this dramatic encounter. Pompey's confident stride into the Holy of Holies is juxtaposed against the stern expressions of disapproval on the faces of the priests, highlighting both his audacity and their outrage.
As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the complex interplay between politics, religion, and power that has shaped civilizations throughout millennia. Mary Evans Picture Library has once again provided us with a window into our past through this evocative print, allowing us to reflect on how events such as these have left an indelible mark on our collective memory.
