The cult of Isis was extremely popular throughout the Mediterranean region at that time<br /> <br /> The temple complex was originally situated on a small hill in the middle of a marshy area. At the centre of the square site stood a stepped pyramid-like structure.In addition to the main sanctuary, the complex also included a Roman bathhouse.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/dadofekl/">dadofekl</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dadofekl/55550830579/" title="A fountain in Andritsena"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55550830579_c0b46e0ddf_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="A fountain in Andritsena" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/142005760@N07/">gorrion9</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/142005760@N07/55549500197/" title="Skiathos"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55549500197_0f1c226485_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Skiathos" /></a></p> <p>Grecia</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/185729603@N05/">Manuel Koenig</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/185729603@N05/55550457101/" title="Cat"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55550457101_da31aac65e_m.jpg" width="240" height="240" alt="Cat" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ourlifeat10/">Jacque &amp; John</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ourlifeat10/55550481853/" title="Holy Cathedral Church of Hagia Sophia (Καθεδρικός Ναός της του Θεού Σοφίας)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55550481853_78cbf61367_m.jpg" width="135" height="240" alt="Holy Cathedral Church of Hagia Sophia (Καθεδρικός Ναός της του Θεού Σοφίας)" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ourlifeat10/">Jacque &amp; John</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ourlifeat10/55550629000/" title="Local architecture."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55550629000_078887d05a_m.jpg" width="135" height="240" alt="Local architecture." /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ourlifeat10/">Jacque &amp; John</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ourlifeat10/55550250991/" title="Advertising artwork."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55550250991_fe0b36b31a_m.jpg" width="192" height="240" alt="Advertising artwork." /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ourlifeat10/">Jacque &amp; John</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ourlifeat10/55550354253/" title="Thessaloniki apartment buildings."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55550354253_df8b39f63c_m.jpg" width="140" height="240" alt="Thessaloniki apartment buildings." /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/rabidgood/">rabidgood</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/rabidgood/55549706715/" title="Erecthion"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55549706715_9d3f8bde22_m.jpg" width="240" height="192" alt="Erecthion" /></a></p> <p>The Erechthion Temple on the Acropolis in Athens in the setting sun.
