Summary
| Description |
English: Ivory with gold miniature of Sabazios from the tomb of Alexander IV at Aigai, 311 BCE. The garments worn by this half-man, half-plant, demon-like figure recall Sabazios, a Thracian deity identified with Dionysus. This hybrid creature, with both Greek and Oriental features celebrates the co-existence and synthesis of different cultures reflected in the unity Alexander imposed on his empire. The miniature was part of the rich decoration on a couch found in the younger Alexander's tomb. Alexander's son was assassinated at the age of 12 before he could take his father's throne. |
