Marble Foot Reveals Temple Clue
A votive marble foot discovered inside the Temple of Ras el-Soda in Alexandria tells the story of Isidorus, a Roman cavalryman who dedicated a model of a foot after recovering from an injury that nearly cost him his life, fulfilling a vow he had made to the gods. The temple dates back about 1,900 years and was built as an expression of his gratitude. A nine-line Greek inscription recounts the accident and the vow, without naming the deity to whom it was made. The temple was discovered by chance in 1936 and, in the 1990s, was moved from its original site to the Latin Cemetery area to protect it from urban expansion and groundwater.
