Egyptian beliefs were dominant in the Greek and Roman periods. Thus, the worship of the god Isis spread from Egypt to Greece, Rome, and other areas of the empire.

Even during the time of Roman administration in Egypt, the rulers made an effort to enhance the Holy Island. The worship on the island lasted until the fourth century AD. Tiberius and others erected monuments and inscriptions, and Claudius, Trajan, Hadrian, and Diocletian constructed additional structures.
