Temple of Isis, Roman temple in Campus Martius, Italy
The Temple of Isis stood adjacent to the Serapeum across a plaza, incorporating Egyptian and Hellenistic architectural elements with red granite obelisks and decorative motifs.
The Senate authorized construction of the temple in 43 BCE during the Second Triumvirate, followed by multiple restrictions until Caligula officially reinstated the cult.
The temple complex measured 220 by 70 meters and contained wells, Egyptian statues, and a dedicated sanctuary to Isis in its northern section.
Archaeological discoveries from the site include granitic columns, reliefs of Egyptian priests, lotus capitals, and several obelisks now located throughout Rome.
The temple entrance featured denarii-depicted Corinthian designs with Egyptian-style architraves, solar disk motifs, and pediments showing the goddess Isis.
