Description:
|
|
From the exhibition titled Rome, The Age of Anquish, held at the Capitoline Museums; listed as Cat.IV.15. Normally in the collection of the Museo Nazionale Romano at Palazzo Altemps. The snake symbolizes the passage of time; "chronocrator" indicates Osiris is conquering time. The Egyptian deity Osiris was integrated into Greek, but especially Roman culture through identification with Dionysus (and thus aspects of joy); the Greeks called this deity Serapis. This figure marks a return to the original association of Osiris with death and the afterlife.
