Shipwrecks & Lost Worlds - Contra Latopolis: the lost Roman temple to Isis

Across the Nile from Latopolis, Roman builders constructed a temple dedicated to Isis during the reign of Cleopatra VII. Known as Contra Latopolis, only a massive portico supported by eight columns has survived. Overhanging eaves display a winged globe, while its walls bear hieroglyphs spanning from Cleopatra III down to Emperor Commodus. Egyptologist Gaston Maspero highlighted these structures for their distinctive architecture, where capitals atop the columns are sculpted in the formal likeness of the goddess Hathor.
