Birgitta Hoffmann
No other foreign goddess conquered the Rome as successfully as Isis. From the first century onwards she commanded temples and over time absorbed more and more characteristics of other goddesses into her. Guardian of childbirth and fertility, Protectress of Sailors and artisans, her temples and inscriptions can be found all over the Roman empire, and in the Golden Ass of Apuleius she even had literature dedicated to her.
By the Byzantine period she became the pattern on which much of the emerging cult of the Virgin Mary was formed. This day-school is going to look at the surviving evidence for her cult.
The day school forms part of the 2017 lecture circle on Magic through Time.
