<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2652501, member: 76194&quot;]Too bad Helios didn&#039;t protect Julian II from a spear wound to his liver. Guess the ancient Gods didn&#039;t care much for their last protector. Here in this Sassanian relief you can see angelic figure Mithra, the Ahura Mazda (creator God of Mithraism) and Emperor Ardashir II, with the dead Julian II on the floor, his corpse underneath their feet. (Poetic license because Julian died in a Roman camp from complications after surgery. Interestingly, the wound itself was not necessarily fatal for skilled Roman surgeons, and the surgery was at first successful, but on the second day Julian II developed internal bleeding and died.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]587017[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
