Maarten Vermaseren acquired this rosso antico marble of Mithras slaying the bull in 1961.
This relief was found under the Palazzo Montecitorio, in Rome, and bought by the Liebighaus at Frankfort.
The marble shows Mithras slaying the bull, on one side, and Sol and Mithras feasting on a bull skin, on the other.
This temple of Mithras on the north side of the Capitoline Hill in Rome no longer exists.
The intarsium of Sol found in the Mithraeum of Santa Prisca is composed of several varieties of marble.
This sculpture of Mithras slaying the bull was bequeathed to the Republic of Venice in 1793 by Ambassador Girolamo Zulian.
This Mithraic temple, now disappeared, is known thanks to the numerous remains recorded since 1594 in the 'Memorie di varie antichità trovate in diversi luoghi della città di Roma'.
