Allard Pierson Museum Domitian as pharao

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In Egypt the Roman emperors take control of the temples as a way to get a grip on the administration of the province. In their role as kings of Egypt they worship the Egyptian gods. Here we see the Emperor Domitian as a traditional pharaoh, standing in the false door of a temple. He is handing a statuette of Ma’at, goddess of justice, to the sun-god Re-Horachti. The Greek griffin above stands for Nemesis, goddess of cengeance, with her wheel of fortune. Religious sambols from three cultures are united in one image. Limestone, Egypt, c. 83-96 AD (inv, 7764)
Nederlands: In Egypte nemen de Romeinse keizers de controle op de tempels over als manier om greep te krijgen op het bestuur van de provincie. In de rol van Egyptische koning vereren ze Egyptische goden. Hier zien we keizer Domitianus als traditionele farao staande in de schijndeur van een tempel. Hij geeft een beeldje van Maát, godin van de rechtvaardigheid aan de zonnegod Re-Horakhti. Een Griekse griffioen daarboven staat voor de wraakgodin Nemesis, met haar rad van fortuin. Religieuze symbolen uit drie culturen komen samen in één beeld. Kalksteen, Egypte, ca. 83-96 AD (inv, 7764)
