EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the interior of the Heliopolis or Temple of Baalbek, located in the Beqaa Valley of Lebanon. Dedicated to various deities, the temple complex is renowned for its grandeur and historical significance, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of ancient Persia and the Roman Empire. The image captures the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the temple, filled with the divine presence of gods and goddesses. At the center, the double-headed image of the sun god, represented as a bird with the head of a human and an eagle, is adored by the ancient Persians. Surrounding the central figure, various deities are depicted in their respective forms. Jupiter, the king of the gods, is shown with a thunderbolt in hand, while Saturn, the god of agriculture, holds a scythe. Mars, the god of war, is represented as a double-headed figure, symbolizing both war and agriculture. Venus, the goddess of love, is depicted with a fish tail, while Mercury, the messenger of the gods, is shown with wings on his feet and a pig's tail. The moon god is represented as a horseman, and Horus, the god of the sky, is shown with the falcon head. The intricate details of the engraving show the deities being worshipped on horseback or seated on elaborate thrones. This beautiful illustration, created by Giovanni Antonio Sasso for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," provides a glimpse into the mythology, religion, and history of ancient civilizations. The engraving is a testament to the enduring fascination with the gods and the ancient world, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence our lives today.
