A [[Serapeum]] is a [[temple]] or other religious institution dedicated to the syncretic Greco-Egyptian deity [[Serapis]], who combined aspects of [[Osiris]] and [[Apis]] in a humanized form that was accepted by the Ptolemaic Greeks of Alexandria. There were several such religious centers, each of which was a serapeion (Greek: [[Σεραπεῖον]]) or, in its Latinized form, a serapeum. An Egyptian name for the temple of [[Osiris]]-[[Apis]] (Coptic: ⲟⲩⲥⲉⲣϩⲁⲡⲓ) was Pr-Wsỉr-Ḥp "House of Osiris-Apis". | A [[Serapeum]] is a [[temple]] or other religious institution dedicated to the syncretic Greco-Egyptian deity [[Serapis]], who combined aspects of [[Osiris]] and [[Apis]] in a humanized form that was accepted by the Ptolemaic Greeks of Alexandria.
