[/qb][/QUOTE]This is not strange, considering the Roman empire had ruled over Egypt for a considerable time. Mainly for economical reasons. So the influence is logical. [QUOTE] God Bes as a Roman soldier 30 BC-200 AD This unusual terra-cotta figurine represents the Egyptian god Bes as a Roman soldier, 30 BC - 200 AD. “In the Roman period, Bes was perhaps adopted as a military god since he was often portrayed in the costume of a legionary brandishing a sword” (Shaw & Nicholson 1995:54).
