English summary: This second volume of the series concerning the Egyptian artefacts held by the University of Wurzburg presents 90 terra-cotta figures of deities from the Hellenistic and Roman periods, whose cultural backgrounds are described from both the Egyptological and archaeological points of view. Therefore, this volume offers an extensive view into the multifaceted religious world of Egyptian in the late classical period as well as the influence that Egyptian cult-deities had in the Greek and Roman world.
