Temple of Isis, Pompeii
Wilhelm Johann Karl Zahn (d. 1871) · Public domain

The Temple of Isis is a Roman temple in Pompeii dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis. This small and almost intact temple was one of the first discoveries during the excavation of Pompeii in 1764[1]. Its role as a Hellenized Egyptian temple in a Roman colony was confirmed with an inscription documented by Francisco la Vega on July 20, 1765[1]. Original paintings and sculptures from the temple are now displayed at the Museo Archeologico in Naples[1]. The site remains on the Via del Tempio di Iside.
