- Abstract
- A bust of Amenemhet III (XII Dynasty) in the National Museum of Rome presents an unusual royal iconography. The text belongs to an offerant found in Rome, probably in the Pantheon area, where Pirro Ligorio saw it in the 16th century. The bust is very similar to the well-known dyad of Amenemhet III from Tanis, now in the Cairo Museum. Thanks to the sculpture from Tanis, we can reconstruct the statue from Rome. This type represents the king as the lord who nourishes the country and as related to the Nile and the fertility of Egypt. Amenemhet III was involved in draining the Fayum, which became a very important agricultural area, and he built his funerary complex (the so-called \"Labyrinth\") near the Fayum at Hawara. In the Graeco-Roman period, Amenemhet III was still venerated in the Fayum as the god Marres/Lamares/Premarres/Porromanres (Egyptian pr-aA n(y)-mAat-Ra), a deity linked to the local cobra-goddess, Isis-Thermuthis, \"Lady of the Granaries\". Possibly the statue of Amenemhet III/Porromanres was transported to Rome under Nero. This emperor was particularly interested in Egyptian culture and religion, and his commitment to the temples in the Fayum is well-known. Nero presented himself in Egypt as Agathos Daimon, the beneficent god of fecundity, linked to Isis-Thermuthis. Moreover, there is a miniature sculpture similar to the Amenemhet III statue in the National Museum of Florence, probably found in Rome. The iconography is almost identical, but the lotus type (Nelumbo nucifera, instead of the traditional Nymphaea lotus L. and Nymphaea coerulaea Sav.) would date it to the Late Period. (literal)
