Julia Sabina visiting Egyptian antiquities at Thebes
A Roman visitor to the Egyptian tombs - one of the earliest of a long line of Egyptian tourists before the colossal statues of Memnon in the early years of the Christian era. Julia Sabina, wife of the Emperor Hadrian, paying a visit to Thebes, borne in an Egyptian palanquin carried by four men. At her side is an attendant who job was to bear a parasol made of thin leather stretched on a light frame and richly painted. The duty of this attendant was to change his position according to the direction of the sun in order to keep a constant shadow on the person sitting in the palanquin. The Empress is escorted by the Egyptian authorities and Roman colonial soldiers in their light, leather armour, the centurion and the signifier carrying the lupa (the emblem of Rome). On the left of the drawing are the Shairetana of the Guard, a corps devoted to the kings of Egypt, and composed of foreign prisoners. The giant statues both represent the King Amenophis III. Date: c100 AD

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from ancient history, we find Julia Sabina, the beloved wife of Emperor Hadrian, making a grand entrance at Thebes, Egypt, around 100 AD. The Roman Empire's reach extended far beyond its borders, and Julia's visit marks one of the earliest recorded instances of a Roman tourist exploring the Egyptian tombs and antiquities. Julia is depicted in the print, borne in an ornate Egyptian palanquin, carried by four strong men. An attendant, tasked with maintaining a constant shade for the empress using a parasol made of thin leather stretched on a light frame and richly painted, walks beside her. The sun's position dictated the attendant's movements, ensuring Julia remained comfortably shaded throughout her journey. Accompanying Julia are Egyptian authorities and Roman colonial soldiers, their light, leather armor signifying the Roman presence in Egypt. The centurion and signifier, carrying the lupa (the emblem of Rome), lead the procession. To the left of the drawing, we see the Shairetana of the Guard, a corps dedicated to the kings of Egypt, composed of foreign prisoners. Two colossal statues of King Amenophis III dominate the background, a testament to the rich history and culture that drew Julia and the Roman Empire to Egypt. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of two powerful civilizations and the enduring allure of Egypt's ancient wonders.
