Summary

Description

The priests of the Jews (Rabbis) offer Alexander the Great Gold and Silver, Alexander spent the gifts of the Rabbi’s on his Gods. The whole scene is depicted entirely in Byzantine fashion of the late Byzantine period (1204-1453). Alexander the Great is depicted as a Byzantine Emperor (Basileus) and his troops are depicted as Byzantine-Greek soldiers of the 14th century. The Jewish Rabbis (standing to the right) are shown wearing distinctive ceremonial robes and small caps on their heads. From the “Alexander Romance” in S. Giorgio dei Greci in Venice.
