Ermant III
Les vestiges au nom d'Hadrien
By (author) Christophe Thiers
This volume deals with a set of stones bearing the name of the Roman pharaoh Hadrian. It consists of some blocks discovered in 2011-2013, related to those brought from Armant in 1842 by Count Louis de Saint-Ferriol and exhibited in the Grenoble Museum. Hadrian, however, had long been associated with the site of Armant, thanks to the testimonies of some Europeans who visited Egypt in the first decades of the 19th century. Four reports by learned travelers (Hector Horeau, Nestor L’Hote, Louis de Saint-Ferriol, and Jean-Jacques Ampere) and the testimony of an Egyptologist (Karl Richard Lepsius) provide valuable information about the temple remains uncovered in a quarry in the 1840s. These blocks, although modest, are the only remains of Hadrian’s activities in the temple of Montu-Re. They were part of a “procession de soubassement” associated with a colonnade. Their publication raises more questions than it answers, whether a question of their arrangement or their origin.
