Temple of Isis

Tempio d'Iside

The Temple of Isis in Pompeii is a small, almost intact Roman temple dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis. It was one of the first discoveries made during the excavations of Pompeii in 1764. An inscription, detailed by Francisco la Vega on July 20, 1765, confirmed its role as a Hellenized Egyptian temple within a Roman colony. The original paintings and sculptures are now housed in the Museo Archaeologico in Naples; the site itself remains on the Via del Tempio di Iside. In the years following its discovery, many well-known artists and illustrators flocked to the site.
