Close to the complex in Pergamum, Serapeum (Temple of Serapis-Turkish name Kizil Avlu), was built in the 2nd century AD during the king of Hadrian and was dedicated to the Gods of Egypt.

Hadrian's Religious Policy
Hadrian’s Religious Policy: An Architectural Perspective By Chelsie Weidele Brines March 2015 Director of Thesis: F.E. Romer PhD Major Department: History This thesis argues that the emperor Hadrian used vast building projects as a means to display and project his distinctive religious policy in the service of his overarching attempt to cement his power and rule. The undergirding analysis focuses on a select group of his building projects throughout the empire and draws on an array of secondary literature on issues of his rule and imperial power, including other monuments commissioned by Hadrian. An examination of Hadrian’s religious policy through examination of his architectural projects will reveal the catalysts for his diplomatic success in and outside of Rome. The thesis discusses in turn: Hadrian’s building projects within the city of Rome, his villa at Tibur, and various projects in the provinces of Greece and Judaea. By juxtaposing analysis of Hadrian’s projects in Rome and Greece with his projects and actions in Judaea, this study seeks to provide a deeper understanding of his religious policy and the state of Roman religion in his times than scholars have reached to date.

The Hidden Order of Hadrian's Villa, and the Order of Modern Architecture
Michael R. Ytterberg Research BLT Architects The Hidden Order of Hadrian’s Villa, 1216 Arch Street Philadelphia, PA 10107 USA and the Order of Modern Architecture [email protected] Presented at Nexus 2012: Relationships Between Architecture Keywords: Hadrian’s Villa, and Mathematics, Milan, 11-14 June 2012 Roman architecture, Abstract. The casual violence with which the various parts of proportional systems, grids, the second-century Villa of Hadrian crash into each other modules, metrology, modern seems to belie any possibility of a rational plan, although an architecture, Richard Meyer, overall master plan seems a necessity. Amazingly, in the Getty Center, Le Corbusier twentieth century, Le Corbusier extolled Hadrian’s Villa as the archetype of great planning. This paper will describe the clear, mathematically ordered process by which the Villa was planned, and the compositional principles of its design will be shown to be exactly those which underlie the theories of Corbusier, 1800 years later. Introduction In the words of William McDonald, architects of the classical tradition have for centuries “preferred to work within a relatively simple governing scheme that stressed axiality and a hierarchy of forms” [MacDonald and Pinto 1995: 275]. Yet one of the largest and most prominent monuments left to us from Roman antiquity seems to belie this characterization. The casual violence with which the various parts of the Tiburtine Villa of the emperor Hadrian crash one into the other seems to belie any possibility of a rational plan (fig. 1). It has been said that the plan seems “disordered” and, worse, “unclassical.” The pre-existing structures and land forms of the site created strong constraints within which Hadrian’s designers had to operate, not to mention the whims of a strong willed, peripatetic and supremely cultured patron.

The Apis Cult from the New Kingdom to the Ptolemaic Period
Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia The Apis cult from the New Kingdom to the Ptolemaic Period Ida Kingo Fig. 1. Apis bull statuette. BA thesis 15 credits in Egyptology Spring term 2020 Supervisor: Andreas Dorn Abstract Kingo, I. 2020. The Apis cult from the New Kingdom to the Ptolemaic Period. Kingo, I. 2020. Apiskulten från det Nya Riket till den Ptolemaiska perioden. In this thesis the main goal is to present a general overview of the development of the cult of Apis in a chronological perspective from the New Kingdom until the end of the Ptolemaic Period, as this has not been done in a condensed form with the different aspects of the cult and the venerated animal present. Classical theories, such as those used in archaeology, is not very applicable for this thesis, instead it will address and connect several aspects such as time, geographical space, religion and ideology of kingship to the Apis cult. The Apis cult is interesting because it was one of the more important animal cults in ancient Egypt. The time period chosen is the c. 1500 years between the New Kingdom and the Ptolemaic Period, because it was during this time that the cult experienced the most developments and had its golden era. The Apis cult ties together several important aspects of the ancient Egyptian society; the political, religious, ideology of kingship and the cultural sphere. The cult of Apis was one strongly connected to the ruling power, one such example is during the Persian conquer by king Cambyses II in c. 526 B.C.E., when his role as the regent in Egypt was not seen as entirely legitimate by the Egyptians until he had participated in the burial ceremonies of the Apis bull.

The Religion of Egypt.*
THE RELIGION OF EGYPT.* BY FRANZ CUMONT. WE know more about the relig-ion of the early Egyptians than about any other ancient rehgion. Its development can be its sacred texts, traced back three or four thousand years ; we can read mythical narratives, hymns, rituals, and the Book of the Dead in the original, and we can ascertain its various ideas as to the nature of the divine powers and of future life. A great number of monu- ments have preserved for our inspection the pictures of divinities and representations of liturgic scenes, while numerous inscriptions and papyri enlighten us in regard to the sacerdotal organization of the principal temples. It would seem that the enormous quantity of documents of all kinds that have been deciphered in the course of nearly an entire century should have dispelled every uncertainty about the creed of ancient Egypt, and should have furnished exact information with regard to the sources and original character of the worship which the Greeks and the Romans borrowed from the sub- jects of the Ptolemies. And yet, this is not the case. While of the four great Oriental religions which were transplanted into the Occident, the religion of Isis and Serapis is the one whose relation to the ancient belief of the mother country we can establish with greatest accuracy, we know very little of its first form and of its nature before the im- perial period, when it was held in high esteem. One fact, however, appears to be certain. The Egyptian wor- ship that spread over the Greco-Roman world came from the Sera- peum founded at Alexandria by Ptolemy Soter, somewhat in the manner of Judaism that emanated from the temple of Jerusalem.
