Descripcion foto: The Temple of Isis and Serapis was a double temple in Rome dedicated to the Egyptian deities Isis and Serapis. The cult was probably introduced in Rome during the 2nd century BC, however, repressive measures against Egyptian cults were decreed by Augustus in 28 BC, Agrippa in 21 BC, and Tiberius who, in 19 AD, had the priests of the goddess executed, and the cult statue thrown into the Tiber. The cult was officially reinstalled sometime between the reign of Caligula and 65 AD, and it continued to be practiced until the end of the late imperial period when all pagan cults were forbidden and Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire. The remains of the Temple of Serapis now lie under the church of Santo Stefano del Cacco, and the Temple of Isis lay north of it, just east of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.
