Descripción
This slab was probably dedicated to Isis by two women, perhaps freedwomen of the same Roman lady.
The subject of Isis became popular in Greek and Roman sculpture when Egypt became a Roman province in the 1st century B.C. From there on, mystery cults mixing Greco-Roman and Egyptian mythology spread across the Roman Empire. Isis was particulary celebrated, and her figure was often associated with Aphordite. That is why statues of Isis may be found in Greece and in Italy.
