Mensa Isiaca, 1st century AD Rome, probably from Iseo Campense, formerly the Gonzaga collection. The Isiac Table is actually not a work from the Egyptian era: it was built around the first century AD, probably in Rome, to enrich the altar of a temple dedicated to the goddess Isis. Its discovery, in 1527, intrigued many scholars interested in the interpretation of hieroglyphs which, it was understood, were actually only decorative and meaningless. The copper table arrived in Turin thanks to the purchase of a lot from the collection of the Gonzaga dukes of Mantua, in the first half of the seventeenth century.
