Mithras Tauroctony on bronze exposed at the Metropolitan Museum of New York.

This altar was dedicated to Cautes by a certain Lucius in Baetulo (Badalona), near Barcino (Barcelona).

The statue of Mercury in Merida bears a dedication from the Roman Pater of a community in the city in 155.

In the tauroctonic relief on display at the Cincinnati Art Museum, Mithras slaughters the bull over a rocky background.

This scene from the frescoes of the Mitreo di Santa Maria Capua Vetere shows a kneeling, naked man surrounded by two other figures.

This is the first of several fresco scenes depicting the initiation of a new member in a mithraic community, in Capua Vetere.

The Cautes of Sidon who wields an axe also wears a piece of cloth on his left arm.

In this case, a quiver has been attached to the tree-stump behind the torchbearer.

There are two Venus from the Mithraeum of Sidon, one in bronze and the other in Parian marble.

The Sidon sculpture includes a dog jumping between Cautes's legs.

The Mithraeum in the Chapel of the Three Naves was not linked to the cult of Mithras until recently because of a mosaic showing a pig, in the belief that it was an animal unfit for consumption in a temple of Eastern origin.

The Tauroctony of Patras was found years before the temple over which the relief of Mithras sacrificing the bull was supposed to preside.

This relief found at Carnuntum represents Mithras slaughtering the bull, without the scorpion, in the sacred cave.
