Français : Coupe à Emblema, dite coupe à l'Afrique (détail)

premier siècle avant J.-C. - premier siècle après J.-C. découverte à Boscoreale (Italie) dans la villa de la Pisanella Argent doré musée du Louvre, département des antiquités grecques, étrusques et romaines

Objet présenté dans l'exposition : Moi, Auguste, Empereur de Rome 19/03 au 13/07/2014 au grand palais à Paris

Habituellement, on interprète cette figure féminine coiffée d'une dépouille d'éléphant comme une allégorie de la province romaine d'Afrique, (mais également de l'Egypte ou d'Alexandrie comme l'indique le cartel) voir une mosaïque avec cette représentation de la province romaine d'Afrique dans un musée de Tunisie (photo dalbera) www.flickr.com/photos/dalbera/2167359056/in/set-721576036...

Le cartel indique qu'il pourrait aussi s'agir d'un portrait de Cléopâtre Séléné, la fille de Cléopâtre VII et d'Antoine, élevée à Rome par la soeur d'Auguste après la victoire d'Actium, avant d'être mariée à Juba II, roi de Maurétanie. La coupe serait en ce cas une référence à la politique qu'Auguste mena en Afrique.


Cette exposition a été organisée par la RMN – GP et le musée du Louvre, Paris, avec l’Azienda Speciale Palaexpo – Scuderie del Quirinale et les musées du Capitole, Rome.

English: A raised relief depiction of a woman with an elephant skin cap on a gilded dish from the Boscoreale Treasures of the Villa Boscoreale, Italy, dated to the early 1st century AD and thought to depict Cleopatra Selene II, Queen of Mauretania, wife of Juba II, and daughter of Cleopatra VII of Egypt and the triumvir Mark Antony.

The following quotation and assessment comes from Walker, Susan; Higgs, Peter (2001). Cleopatra of Egypt: From History to Myth. Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press. ISBN 9780691088358, pp 312-313:

Conspicuously mounted on the cornucopia is a gilded crescent moon set on a pine cone. Around it are piled pomegranates and bunches of grapes. Engraved on the horn are images of Helios (the sun), in the form of a youth dressed in a short cloak, with the hairstyle of Alexander the Great, the head surrounded by rays... The symbols on the cornucopia can indeed be read as references to the Ptolemaic royal house and specifically to Cleopatra Selene, represented in the crescent moon, and to her twin brother, Alexander Helios, whose eventual fate after the conquest of Egypt is unknown. The viper seems to be linked with the pantheress and the intervening symbols of fecunditity rather than the suicide of Cleopatra VII. The elephant scalp could refer to Cleopatra Selene's status as ruler, with Juba II, of Mauretania. The visual correspondence with the veiled head from Cherchel encourages this identification, and many of the symbols used on the dish also appear on the coinage of Juba II.

The following quotation and assessment comes from Roller, Duane W. (2003), The World of Juba II and Kleopatra Selene: Royal Scholarship on Rome's African Frontier, New York: Routledge, ISBN 9780415305969, pp. 141-142:

No certain portraits of Kleopatra Selene have been found at Caesarea, although the two pieces noted above may be the queen. A bone counter in the British Museum...shows the left-facing bust of a woman...with curls remindful of portraits of Kleopatra VII, but the piece has been suggested to be her daughter...More significant is a gilded silver dish in the Louvre, part of the collection found at Boscoreale in 1895...[It] has the figure of a woman depicted in high relief. Her features are remindful of those of Kleopatra VII, but are not the same. On her head is the scalp of an elephant; on one breast is an asp and on the other a panther. To her left is a cornucopia with Helios engraved as a young man. On her right shoulder is a lion. The piece has a complex visual symbolism that points consistently to a North African context, with the cornucopia and lion especially remindful of the coinage of the Mauretanian monarchs. The suggestion that it is a portrait of Kleopatra Selene has much merit.
