Possible Bellydance of Egyptian Women, 100 AD, Roman Relief

Summary[edit]

Description
English: From Pratolungo, on the ancient Appian Way, near Albano Laziale (Rome), 1919.

Luni marble.

The panel presents decoration on three registers. On the lowest register a row of ibises evokes a Nile landscape. At the centre is a scene of muscic and dancing perhaps connected with the Navigium Isidis, a festival held on March 5th when navigation resumed after the winter. On the top frieze some gods are placed within shrines whilst the sacred Apis Bull stands on a podium outside the portico. The relief, dated to AD 100, may portray the courtyard of the Iseum and Serapeum in the Campus Martius.
