The second part of the course will deal with a subject relating to the study of the diffusion of isiac cults in the greco-roman world. This year, it will present a kind of cultural biography of the new divine husband of Isis, the god Sarapis / Serapis, from his so-called creation under Ptolemy Ist Soter until the destruction of his famous sanctuary in Alexandria by Christians in 391. | ||
