EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of a marble pedestal dating back to the 4th century BC, containing two lines of an ancient Phoenician inscription. The inscription itself is a remarkable testament to the religious devotion and military triumphs of Milkyaton, King of Kition (and Idalion), in Cyprus. The text commemorates his dedication of gold plating to Reshef-Mikal, the revered god, following a victorious battle. The intricate lettering on this artifact provides valuable insights into the rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted religious beliefs of ancient civilizations. Preserved within the esteemed British Museum collection, this Phoenician relic serves as a tangible link connecting us with our ancestors' spiritual practices. The vibrant colors captured in this image highlight both the beauty and significance of this historical object. The golden hues symbolize not only the precious metal used for its construction but also represent divine power and prosperity associated with Reshef-Mikal's worship. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an era where religion played an integral role in society's fabric.
