Le Serapeum de Carthage

This new international series, complementing the Bibliotheca Isiaca, will feature monographs and volumes of collected papers pertaining to the cultural interactions between Egypt and the Classical world. In the multicultural setting of the Greco-Roman Mediterranean, the diffusion and reception of the cult of Isis and other Egyptian divinities over more than seven centuries was one of the most dynamic, significant and popular phenomena of Antiquity, offering an exceptional opportunity for analysis. It is the editors’ plan that most of the entries in the series will be dedicated to the traces left by this phenomenon in ancient material culture. This richly illustrated collection is aimed at a broad readership of students, teachers and researchers who desire to understand better the cultural dynamics that affected the ancient Mediterranean and gradually changed its religious landscape.
