The bilingual collective volume "The Egyptian cults in Serdica" is coming out soon as a result of a project implemented by the Institute of Balkan Studies & Centre of Thracology "Prof. Alexander Fol" at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IBSCT-BAS) in cooperation with the French Institute in Bulgaria. It includes 5 articles that trace the spread of Egyptian cults in the Greco-Roman world, their appearance in Hellenistic Thrace and their implantation in the ancient Roman city of Serdica. Its chronological framework covers the period from the beginning of the Hellenistic period (i.e. the end of the 4th - beginning of the 3rd century BC) to the end of the Roman Empire (4th century AD). The authors are experts in different academic areas, including historians, numismatists and archaeologists:

Assist. Prof. Dr. V. Atanassova (IBSCT - BAS), "Egyptian cults: from Egypt to Serdica".
