ItalyThe Temple of Isis is a Roman temple in Pompeii dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis [1] [2]. This small and almost intact temple was one of the first discoveries during the excavation of Pompeii in 1764 [1] [2]. 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] [3]. Original paintings and sculptures from the temple are now displayed at the Museo Archeologico in Naples [1] [2]. The site remains on the Via del Tempio di Iside [1] [4].
