<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jovian363, post: 2945830, member: 112900&quot;]I thought showing this lead cult plaque (actually, the upper part of a canonical four-row &#039;Danubian horsemen&#039; icon, minus the upper left corner with serpent/dragon) might be appropriate at the time of Sol&#039;s birthday. </p><p><br /></p><p>Although these icons are quite abundant in the wider area of central and lower Danube, little is known about the cult itself, apart from its apparent popularity among the local population roughly between 2nd and 4th century A.D. However, the central figure of the cult is not Sol shown here in his standard four-horse chariot, but rather the mysterious female (deity) standing in the center of the bottom (originally third) row, and/or two horsemen (deities) approaching her from left and right.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]718362[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
