Rough tauroctony from Troesmis

Rough relief (H. 0.60 Br. 0.42–0.52 D. 0.13) probably from Troesmis. Bucarest, National Museum (L. 971).I am highly indebted to Prof. D. M. Pippidi for his kind permission to study the relief and to publish it.Mithras as a bullkiller; the greater part of the bull's head got lost. Under the bull a coiling serpent; small part of the dog. Before the scene the upper part of Cautes with a burning torch in his upraised r.h. Above him the head of Luna in a crescent.
