Description:

|
Fresco from the Temple of Isis (VIII.7.28) in Pompeii depicting the syncretistic deity Serapis, on the west wall of Sacrarium (an inner room meant for storing cult objects). Serapis derived from Osiris, Apis and was also linked to Greek gods such as Dionysus. Serapis continued to increase in popularity during the Roman period, often replacing Osiris as the consort of Isis in temples outside Egypt. The cult of Isis was part of the syncretic tendencies of religion in the Greco-Roman world of late antiquity; the Romans having acquired it from the Hellenistic Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. This figure is painted in a Hellenistic style. (Source: Naples National Archaeological Museum [website]; http://cir.campania. beniculturali.it/mus eoarcheologiconazion ale)
