	Pompeii: Temple of Isis, bronze sistrum Pompeii: Temple of Isis, bronze sistrum (Naples Mus.Arch.; photo: Athena Review)
	The sistrum was a noise-making device or rattle with adjustable rods, used in rituals of the cult of Isis. Numerous examples of bronze and silver sistrums found in Pompeii show that the Egyptian cult had permeated the town's culture in the 1st century AD. This sistrum from the Temple of Isis at Pompeii is displayed at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples.
