EDITORS COMMENTS
1st Century AD: Mithras, the God of the Sun and Contracts, depicted with the Signs of the Zodiac in a Gaulish carving (Mary Evans Picture Library/Mary Evans). This ancient image offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of religious beliefs and astrological practices that flourished during the Roman Empire. Mithras, a deity of Iranian origin, was popular among the military and merchants in the Roman world. He was believed to ensure the protection of the Roman Empire and the prosperity of its people. The image of Mithras slaying a bull, a central myth in his cult, symbolized the triumph of life over death and the renewal of the cosmos. The association of Mithras with the Zodiac signs is a reflection of the syncretism that characterized the religious landscape of the Roman Empire. The twelve signs of the Zodiac, each representing a constellation, were believed to have a profound influence on human life and the natural world. The presence of these signs in the carving underscores the importance of astrology in the religious practices of the time. The serpent coiled around Mithras in this image is a powerful symbol of eternity and the cyclical nature of time. It also represents the connection between Mithras and the underworld, emphasizing his role as a god of the dead and the afterlife. This intricately carved stone image, likely created in the 1st century AD, provides a fascinating window into the complex and multifaceted religious beliefs of the ancient Gauls. It is a testament to the enduring allure of the mysteries of the universe and the human desire to understand the forces that shape our lives.
