Sarapis
Sarapis (Serapis in Latin), a god of creation, eternal life, secret knowledge, and healing, combined the cults of Osiris and Apis (Oserapis). The new cult emerged during the Egyptian Late Period and, with the cults of his wife Isis, son Horus, and other Egyptian gods, spread across the Greco‐Roman world. Sarapis was assimilated with Dionysos, Zeus, Helios, and Asklepios, and usually was represented in Greek form as a bearded man wearing a kalanth…
Isis in Greece and Rome
The cult of Isis, a goddess who protected rulers and brought fertility and prosperity, developed in Pharaonic Egypt and spread into the Mediterranean world beginning in the fifth century bce . Greek and Roman worshippers syncretized Isis with Demeter, Artemis, Aphrodite, and Fortuna. She was a creator goddess who extended mercy to worshippers and promised a happy afterlife to initiates. Her title “Great of Magic” was widespread. Numerous temples,…
Honos
Honos personified male Roman political and military success and received cult temples and rituals. Frequently associated with Virtus (military prowess), Honos appeared in the third century bce and continued through the Imperial period in a broad range of sources (literature, inscriptions, coins, sculpture, etc.). No mythology or genealogy was connected to the cult.
Harpokrates
Harpokrates was the Greek name for Horus the Child, son of Isis and Osiris, the manifestation of the sun at dawn, an integral part of the cycle of Osiris’ death and rebirth as Horus. He appeared as a baby nursing at Isis’ breast, as a chubby boy with a finger pressed to his lips to signal silence, or as a crowned youth. Harpokrates was often depicted standing on a crocodile or hippopotamus (Seth) or curled on a lotus. Enormous numbers of coins, g…
Clementia
Clemency, pardoning a criminal or an enemy defeated on the battlefield, became an important political quality in the Late Roman Republic, especially in Julius Caesar's civil war propaganda. Subsequently, clemency was a quality advertised by most Roman emperors. During the High Empire, philosophers and poets celebrated clemency in private life; forgiving wrongdoers was superior to exacting even a just punishment. Early Christian writers used the R…
Felicitas
Felicitas, the Roman embodiment of the good luck granted to virtuous men, brought martial and political success. During the Republic, Felicitas was claimed by Roman commanders celebrating the divine gift of good luck on the battlefield. With Augustus, Felicitas became part of the constellation of imperial virtues. The assimilation of Felicitas and Fortuna during the Roman Empire combined public felicity with fertility. The quality was personified…
Sistrum
The sistrum was a hand‐held musical instrument used in religious and funerary rituals, beginning in the Egyptian Old Kingdom, and appearing in the Near East, Greece, and Rome. Sistra had a looped top that held rods bearing disks that rattled or chimed when shaken. Sistra were usually connected to the goddesses Isis and Hathor but appeared in other ancient cults as well.
Aeternitas
Aeternitas , “Eternal Time,” appeared in Roman Republican literature and increased in popularity through Late Antiquity. In an age of intense interest in astrology, cosmology, and temporality, Aeternitas embodied changeless, endless, indivisible eternity, in contrast to other ancient conceptions of cyclical, divisible time. The personification of Aeternitas appeared as a draped woman holding the sun and the moon or a phoenix perched on a globe (a…
Navigium Isidis
The Navigium Isidis (Greek Ploiaphesia) was an annual festival in the cult of Isis marking the opening of the sailing season on March 5. A ship of the goddess was filled with offerings, carried in procession to the sea and accompanied by prayers for prosperous voyages and protection for sailors, set onto the water. Isis Pelagia, Pharia, or Euploia protected the worshipper on journeys and on the metaphorical rough seas of life. Apuleius provides a…

Clemency and Cruelty in the Roman World
"When the Roman democratic republic fell and the monarchical empire rose, a new vocabulary of power was needed to help balance the awesome abilities of the state to inflict harm and the need of its people for individual protection. In Clemency and Cruelty in the Roman World, Melissa Barden Dowling explores the formation of clemency as a human and social value in the Roman Empire, a topic that has been curiously neglected despite its obvious impor…
