Summary
[edit]DescriptionMusei Vaticani - Mithra - Sol invictus 01136.JPG |
Italiano: Roma, Musei Vaticani: Roman Mithras, described as sol invictus (the unconquered sun god). Reference: CIL VI 721= VI, 30820 cf. p. 3757 (ILS 1615).
English: The image is a standard one of Mithras killing the bull in the Tauroctony. This image is relatively simple and omits many elements found in other depictions. The killing takes place in a cavern. Top left is Sol, recognisable by his flaming crown. Top right is Luna. Beneath the bull, the dog and the snake lick up the blood. |
