How did the romans worship Isis?
The cult of Isis was imported from Egypt by soldiers and in Rome, from the 1st century b.C., there were about one hundred temples dedicated to this goddess.The cult was celebrated in secrecy and the rites known only by his members. In the year 394 the last temple to Isis in rome was closed . most of those temples were restyled and dedicated to “Madonna Nera ” (black Lady). P.S. additional info for those who ignore the history of rome ; Testimonies of the cult of Isis are found in Sicily, in Sardinia, in Campania at Pompeii, Pozzuoli, Ercolano as well as in Gaul,in Germany, north Africa, and all the mediterranean area. Now, the differences: a.in egypt: Isis (Aseth) is a fierce goddess, divine sister-spouse , funerary deity, mother to the king; she was associated with the Sun. b. in Rome: she is benevolent, mother goddess or everyone, not a funerary deity, associated with the Moon. She was the Ten Thousand Names Goddess.
