BRONZE RING WITH ZEUS SERAPIS
Roman period, c. 1st - 4th century AD.
Roman bronze finger ring in the shape of a bust of Zeus Serapis.
Dimensions: 28 x 23 mm.
Inner-size: 16 mm. Rare and fascinating item. Intact and complete. For many, the cult of Serapis, with songs, lights, bells, processions, represented a final transformation of the savior Osiris into a monotheistic figure, virtually identical to the Christian God. As Christ was a sacrificial lamb, so Serapis was a sacrificial bull and also a God in human form.
« The worshipers of Serapis are Christians and those who are devoted to the god Serapis call themselves Vicars of Christ »
