The caption for this 1884 illustration reads; Vessels of War - paintings in Temple of Isis at Pompeii. The image is based on Nicolini’s drawing. The Temple of Isis, or Iseum, served the Isis cult and was not a public civil space. Isis herself must have held special meaning and value for the city of Pompeii.
