Abstract

This article examines the cult of Serapis in the Decapolis during the Roman period, specifically emphasizing the widespread veneration and worship dedicated to this deity. Notably, the cult of Serapis in the Decapolis demonstrated an intriguing syncretistic tendency, as the god was often amalgamated with Zeus-Helios-Megas, and potentially Hades/Pluto in some cities of the Decapolis. The syncretistic nature of the cult of Serapis, exemplified by its fusion with other prominent deities, offers a unique lens through which to understand the complex dynamics of religious syncretism during the Roman period.
