Iconografia del sacro. Una rilettura del rilievo con divinità alessandrine da via della Conciliazione a Roma

This article addresses a question of “sacred iconography”, and in particular that of Isis and the Synnaoi Theoi, on the basis of analysis of the relief found in Rome, in via della Conciliazione, in 1941.
The monument portrays a static scene with four personages presented frontally, interpreted in various ways in the numerous editions dedicated to the relief. A new interpretation of the subject matter and of the monument as a whole is advanced on the evidence of integral analysis of the individual elements making up the image, and above all the “attributes”, as they are termed.
