[edit] Summary

Photo taken by DanielCD in March of 2004. This is a "tauroctany" statue of Mithras slaying a bull. Statue is in the Hall of Animals, Vatican Museum, Rome. I am uncertain as to the dating of this piece, and am trying to research it. It could be a restoration of an ancient piece. The fact that Mithras is looking toward the bull is a rarity in ancient presentations, so it could be a renaissance-era mistake.
