Monuments: TNMdB

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 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 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.

There are no further details about this Mithraic statue from Transylvania, the historical region of central Romania.

The provenance of this fragment of a white marble relief depicting Mithras as a bullkiller is unknown.

Franz Cumont bought this relief of Mithras as a bullkiller from a dealer who claimed to have found it in a vineyard near the church of Saint Pancrace, in Rome.

This small relief of Mithras killing the bull was found in 1859 in Turda, in the Cluj region of Romania.

This relief of Mithras killing the bull is unique in the Apulum Mithraic repertoire because of its inscription in Greek.

Several elements, such as the snake, scorpion or dog, are missing from this tauroctony relief of Cluj.

The remains of the mithraic triptic of Tróia, Lusitania, were part of a bigger composition.

This marble of Cautes was found together with his partner Cautopates in Ostia in 1939.

These two mithraic sculptures of Cautes and Cautopates belong to the same collection of Astuto de Noto, made up of mostly Sicilian monuments.

This monument bears an inscription by a certain Lucius Aelius Hylas, in which he associates Sol Invictus with Jupiter.

This medallion belongs to a specific category of rounded pieces found in other provinces of the Roman world.

This marble relief from Alba Iulia contains numerous scenes from the myth of Mithras.
