Egyptian cults of Isis and Serapis in Roman Fleets

The Egyptian cults of Serapis and Isis were introduced to Rome at the time of the late Republic but they showed their real strength from the middle of the 1st to the end of the 3rd Century AD. My study shows that these cults were widely expanded within the Roman society, from slaves and freedman to the Roman emperors, and they also played an important role in the religious life of the Roman military and merchant fleets.
