Sarapeum of Alexandria

The Serapeum of Alexandria, also known as the Sarapeion, was an ancient Greek temple located in Alexandria dedicated to Serapis, the patron god of the city.[1]

Considered to the most beautiful of Alexandria, it was located southwest of the city on a small hill known as the Acropolis. Its foundations were created during the reign of Ptolemy I Soter and the temple was finished during the reign of Ptolemy III.[2]

History

In 48 BCE, the Medjay, Bayek, visited the temple and prayed to Serapis for help on his journey. He later aided Lysander, a local priest to rescue a drummer who was accused of stealing a Nubian lion skin for the dye vats.[3]
