White marble relief depicting Mithras killing the bull, found broken in two parts in 1872 near Salita delle Tre Pile in Rome.

This terra sigillata was found in 1926 in a grave on the Roman cemetery of St. Matthias, Trier. An eyelet indicates that it could have been hung on a wall.

This sculpture of Cautes holding a bull’s head was found in 1882 in Sarmizegetusa, Romania.

The mithraic relief of Konjic shows a Tauroctony in one side and a ritual meal in the other.

Franz Cumont considers the bas relief of Osterburken ’the most remarkable of all the monuments of the cult of Mithras found up to now’.

The tauroctonic relief from Dragus includes a naked flying figure that Vermaseren has identified as Phosporus or Lucifer.

Altar with Cautes and Cautopates dedicated to Sol Invictus Mithras as protector of the Tetrarchy in 3rd-century Carnuntum.

The votive image was donated by a certain Verus for a mithraeum which was probably located in the hinterland of the Limes.

This heliotrope gem, depicting Mithras slaying the bull, dates from the 2nd-3rd century, but was reused as an amulet in the 13th century.

This intaglio portrays Mithra slaying the bull on one side, and a lion with a bee, around seven stars, and inscription, on the other.

This sandsotne head with a Phrygian, found in Fürth in 1730, probably belonged to a torach-bearer.

This small white marble cippus bears an inscription of a certain Pater Antoninus to Cautes.

This relief of Mithras as bull slayer is surrounded by Cautes and Cautopates with their usual torch plus an oval object.

This is one of the two torchbearers, probably Cautes, transformed into Paris, now in the British Museum.

This marble relief of Cautes was found in 1863 in Sisak, Croatia.
