The Aztec Pantheon: Cultural Dialogue Across Empires Bell Gardens Sun

The Aztec Pantheon: Cultural Parley Across Empires

By EGP News Service

When Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés first laid eyes on the Aztec empire’s wealth city Tenochtitlan in 1519, he witnessed one of the largest metropolises of its time, rivaling the fabled ancient cities of Jerusalem, Carthage, and Rome.

While Cortés brought plans that spelled the creation of the end for Montezuma’s Aztec empire, other Spaniards who followed him into its capital city encountered towering pyramid temples, floating gardens thriving markets and a polish that they could not help but compare to the cultural achievements of the Roman Empire.

The parallels Spaniards drew between the two great empires take center level in the “The Aztec Pantheon and the Art of Empire,” an exhibition that will be on view at the Getty Villa from Mar. 24 through July 5, coinciding with the performance of the bicentennial of Mexican independence.

The Florentine Codex, a history of Aztec civilization compiled by Franciscan minister Bernardino de Sahagún, reveals efforts by the Spaniards to understand the Aztec religion through the framework of the Greco-Roman mythology, giving Roman counterparts to Aztec deities. Huitzilopochtli became “another Hercules,” and Tezcatlipoca and Chicomecoatl were likened to Jupiter and Ceres.

18.03.10

TEFAF is perhaps the most mighty as well as the most glamorous event on the world's international art calendar. Every March, hundreds of the finest galleries assemble in Maastricht, The Netherlands, a charming, old times a deliver city near the German and Belgium borders. In 1993, 27 countries signed the Treaty of Maastricht creating the European Seam.

The Fair is held inside the Maastricht Exhibition and Convention Center (MECC), a space that is larger than five football fields. This year there are 263 exhibitors from 17 countries (over 35 dealers from the Amalgamated States) showing some 30,000 works of art and antiques from the Neolithic age to the present day, which includes paintings, drawings, prints, chisel, furniture, classical antiquities, illuminated manuscripts, jewelry, textiles, porcelain, glass, silver and design. AXA Fine Art Insurers, the star sponsors of the Fair, have insured all these objects for over $4 billion dollars.

Perhaps this explains the clamor

What are the correct terms for northern Africa and Italy in classical antiquity?

May 23, 2009 by Corey | Posted in History

For sample, France was known as Gaul, Spain was known as Hispania, and the east was Parthia/Persia. So roughly around 500 AD, was there a definitive term for the Italian peninsula, and/or Northern Africa (specifically Carthage)?

Italy had the same name back then, whereas N. Africa except Egypt was called Libya

chrisvoulg1 | May 23, 2009

Northern Africa was once referred to as Libya (other than Egypt) and possibly Appenine for Italy

Tainruadh | May 23, 2009

I consider your time period is a little late for what you are looking for. By 500 AD the Western Roman Empire had been destroyed, and Carthage was an occasion more distant in memory.

In 500 AD Carthage was part of the Kingdom of the Vandals (Named for the Germanic tribe that conquered much of North Africa and the Mediterranean from the Roman Empire)

In 500 AD the Italian Peninsula was part of a interminable Kingdom of the Ostrogoth's (The Germanic tribe that had finished off the Western Roman Empire and conquered Rome)

So I don't over 500 AD, with Germanic domination of the western half of Europe, is the period you are looking for :P

From a Roman point of believe, once Carthage was defeated in 146 BC, the Romans established a province they named Africa.(This name applied ONLY to Carthage and the circumjacent Carthaginian territory, not the other roughly 98% of the modern continent of Africa) The name is of Phoenician origin 'afar' and means "Dust". The Carthaginians were Phoenician in fountain-head after all.(Carthage means "New Town" in Phoenician, as it was a Phoenician colony)

The Italian Peninsula was known as "Italia". A relating to originally used to refer to only a select part of southern Italy, but was later expanded to cover an increasing corpulent part of modern Italy, and by Roman times, it was expanded to cover the entire Italian Peninsula.

Hope that answers your theme :P

Which concepts in the US's democracy today can be traced historically to classical antiquity?

Mar 22, 2008 by Bailey | Posted in History

A lot of the egalitarian elements can be traced to Ancient Athens where all citizens could participate in government, and Republican aspects to Rome where the oversight was mostly run by the Senate and they could elect a leader.
