The original pagans were followers of an ancient religion that worshiped several gods polytheistic. Often the gods were in the form of idols and statues. Ptolemy I had to take measures to solidify his rulership, authority and unite the Greek and Egyptian people and the many gods into one.
Jesus, a Jewish preacher and religious leader who later became the central figure of Christianity lived between 4 BC - 33 AD. The worship of idols or statues constitutes idolatory. This includes worship to cult images of the deity, an outdoor altar, statues, animals, nature and votive offerings to the gods, and even nature such as sacred trees, springs, seasons, sun, moon etc. Greek images of Serapis depict a man with an elaborate Greek hairstyle wearing Greek style robes and a long beard.
Serapis often wears a corn modius or sheaf on his head. He is seated on a throne with the three-headed dog of Hades, Cerberus, at his feet. Egyptian images of Serapis show him as a mummified human with the bead of a bull. He is crowned with the crescent moon and two plumes. Jesus is depicted as a caucasian man, with long hair, short beard. He often wears a woven crown of thorns on his head from his crucifixion and has a 'Sun Disc' or sun-like Halo behind his head.
Pagan Gods were often partnered with a female counterpart. This introduced balance to the godhead. Serapis consort was Isis, the wife of Osiris and the most popular goddess during the Ptolemaic Period. Jesus' consort was his mother, Mary. Today, Modern Paganism or Neopaganism are groups of new religious movements influenced by the various historical pagan beliefs of pre-modern Europe, North Africa and the Near-East. The Serapis god was later forced on the black people across Africa.
This process was initiated by Ptolemy but continued after him. The Roman Catholics forced Jesus the God-Man on people and nations across the world through violent crusades, wars and missionary activity. It was officially declared that Jesus Christ was equal to God , from the substance of God, begotten, god from god; and the new undeclared replacement for Serapis Christus.

The statues closely resembled Greek statues of Zeus, but they were also often wearing an object on their heads which was a common feature of ancient Egyptian statues of gods.
Zeus-Serapis was usually depicted with a grain basket or measuring cup on his head, symbolising wealth and the harvest. Although Serapis was originally a god of the dead, Zeus-Serapis became the god of the sun, the god of healing, and the most powerful and important god. He was worshipped in particular at a large temple in Alexandria called the Serapeum.
The Serapeum also served as an extension of the famous Library of Alexandria. Works of literature and art were stored there when the Library had run out of space. Our statue fragment is wearing a wreath, with what is likely to be a woven grain basket or measuring cup in the centre.
The original statue would have been small and therefore probably used for worship in the home or made as an offering to a temple. Household altars where family members could make offerings in return for protection and good fortune were common. Offering small statues of the gods at temples had also been a popular practice throughout Ancient Egyptian history.
They were considered sacred so the priests would often bury them in the temple grounds rather than destroying them. They are a common find for archaeologists.
