EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable moment in history - the meeting of Diocletian, the powerful Roman emperor, with Buchis, the revered Egyptian god embodied as a sacred bull. Taken during the Mostra Augustea exhibition held in Rome between 1937 and 1938, this print now resides in Berlin. The image transports us back to ancient times when empires clashed and cultures intertwined. Diocletian stands before Buchis with an air of awe and reverence, his regal presence contrasting against the massive form of the bull deity. The inscription on the artwork suggests that it dates back to around 275-299 AD, further emphasizing its historical significance. Intriguingly, this encounter symbolizes more than just a meeting between two individuals; it represents an intersection of civilizations. The Romans were known for their conquests and assimilation of various cultures into their empire. Here we witness one such instance where Egyptian mythology finds its place within Roman society. The photograph also serves as a testament to archeology's role in uncovering hidden treasures from our past. It is through meticulous excavation efforts that artifacts like this find come to light, shedding new light on ancient populations' histories. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of art captured by Alinari Fratelli, we are reminded not only of Africa's rich heritage but also how interconnected our world truly is across time and space. This print encapsulates both beauty and intrigue while inviting us to delve deeper into Egypt's ancient civilization – a journey well worth embarking upon.
