EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Royal Cartridge of Emperor Tiberius at the Temple of Kom Ombo: A Blend of Egyptian and Roman Art" This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, the Royal Cartridge of Emperor Tiberius, discovered at the Temple of Kom Ombo. Dating back to the 2nd century BC, this temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris, reflecting the syncretism of Egyptian and Roman beliefs during the Ptolemaic Dynasty. The relief depicts the Roman Emperor Tiberius's cartridge, adorned with intricate hieroglyphic inscriptions and symbols. The cartridge is flanked by two columns, each displaying a double crown – the White Crown of Upper Egypt (designed as an oval with a papyrus stalk and a looped uraeus) and the Red Crown of Lower Egypt (represented by a solar disk topped with a cobra). The Atet or Atef crown, a symbol of divine authority, is also present. The cartridge is further embellished with hieroglyphs, including the alphabet, signs, and symbols of the Egyptian scripture. The winged sun disc with the vulture goddess Nekhbet and the falcon god Horus, each holding a scepter and an ankh, is depicted above the cartridge. This symbolizes the protection and sovereignty granted to the emperor by these deities. The polychrome relief, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, exemplifies the rich artistic heritage of the ancient Egyptian civilization, blended with the Roman influence during the Ptolemaic Dynasty. This artifact serves as a testament to the historical significance and cultural exchange that occurred during this period.
