Category:Colossal statues from a Sarapeion near Lykopolis

Two colossal statues, one of Helios (inv. Sk 177), the other of an unidentified goddess (inv. Sk 159), said to have been found together in the ruins of a temple near Lykopolis (Assyut) in Egypt. Inscriptions on the plinths identify them as dedications to "Zeus Helios the great Sarapis, and the gods who share the temple with him" by a gymnasiarch in the reign of the emperor Antoninus Pius (A.D. 138-161).
