ISEUM: Museum of the Temple of Isis and Serapis in Campo Marzio, Rome

One of the main projects of Ecoluxury is to redevelop an archaeological site in the center of Rome, to make it a museum. The Camigliano Arch, the monumental entrance to the temple, is the most important in situ testimony of the entire Temple of Isis and Serapis in Campo Marzio. Already in the Republican era (1st century BC) there is evidence of the presence of a temple dedicated to Isis in the same place, a temple that was frequented by Queen Cleopatra, Caesar's companion. After various restorations, from the Augustan period, a series of enlargements and embellishments were carried out according to the emperors' passion for the Egyptian goddess. It was the most important Egyptian temple in Imperial Rome. From the fourth century onwards the temple declined but still until the eleventh century there is evidence of activity. A large part of the monument was sacked, starting from the statues (there are at least 35 works visible today in several museums) and 5 obelisks. The Camigliano Arch today is the only visitable monumental part of the temple of Isis and Serapis in the historical center of Rome.
