On the relief the front of a temple is represented: two columns with capitals, supporting a tympanum. Between the columns a representation of Mithras' rock-birth. In his l.h. the youthful, naked god carries a globe and with his upraised r.h. he supports a circle, on which six signs of the Zodiac. From l. to r.: Aries-Taurus-Gemini-Cancer-Leo-Virgo. In the four corners, which are left open by the circle, are the busts of the four Winds: Zephyrus (r. upper corner) and Eurus (l. lower corner); Notus (l. upper corner) and Boreas (r. lower corner): On the rock a raven, serpent and sitting dog, all three of them raising their heads towards Mithras. Within the tympanum in the middle a cantharus, entwined by a serpent. To the left of it a lion in a threatening posture. To the right a bird. Before the latter a twisted, oblong object (thunderbolt), and behind it a small cantharus(?). In the upper corners the dressed busts of Sol (l) in radiate crown, and of Luna (r), partly lost. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempelbezirk_im_Altbachtal |
