As pagans barricade the ancient temple, defending it with stones and clubs, tensions rise. The conflict began when Bishop Theophilus exposed a secret pagan temple, inciting fury among the pagans who retaliated by taking Christian hostages. As violence escalates, a message from Theophilus offers a deal—surrender and be pardoned or face execution. The pagans capitulate, but the Serapeum's destruction follows.
