ISIS ET SERAPIS IN CAPITOLIO

shrines (τεμενίσματα) of these two divinities, said to have been destroyed by order of the senate in 48 B.C. (Cass. Dio xlii. 26. 2). Earlier action of a similar kind is recorded (Arnob. ii. 73; Tert. Apol. 6; ad nat. i. 10; Cass. Dio xl. 47; Val. Max. ep. i. 3. 4; cf. ISIS CURIANA), but whether it concerned these particular shrines is uncertain. That temples of Isis were again built on the Capitoline is certain (CIL vi. 351, 2247 (=i2. 1263), 2248 (=i2. 986) ; Suet. Dom. I; see Jord. i. 2. 47; Gilb. iii. Iro; Rosch. ii. 40 ; WR 351-353; BC 1896, 272). See OBELISCUS CAPITOLINUS.
