how close was he to the temple to the Egyptian god Serapis, also in York
It doesn't really sink in how insane the Roman Empire was until you write a sentence like "We have the skeleton of a man in York who was bitten by a lion."

I never share a pic of Zeus Serapis without telling the story of drawing him for Latin homework when I was 11. I am a terrible artist, it was a lousy picture. I nonetheless labelled it: Zeus Serapis. It came back from my Latin teacher with the words ‘presumably after a stuff drink’ added beneath.

Looking very much the image of a bloodied, fallen god - a glass head of the doubly syncretic deity Zeus-Serapis. It was originally a cast and carved chunk of opaque red glass which acquired a green patina over the centuries. 🏺 #AncientBluesky

The glad eyes of Serapis. You know things are looking up when the god gives you the look.

Charlemagne utilisait pour son cachet de justice une intaille romaine du lle siècle avec l'image de Jupiter Sérapis. Ce qui est cool.
Ma question c'est: est-ce qu'il savait que c'était Serapis sur son sceau, ou bien est ce qu'il se disait "c'est un truc ancien, donc précieux"?

see for a priest of Serapis - he too wears the forelocks across his brow, and he also wears a 7 pointed star. This is seen with Serapis on coinage, but also on statuary of priests. This would suggest that he was a worshipper of Serapis or even a priest of the god. Normally, Egyptian priests would...
