🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE ISLAND LIFE- https://image.nostr.build/c2742a7866aef3aa86094dbffddcc1ec8230ece8a020336a19efdacb46f4d2a3.jpg Discovered in Cumbria, England, it is an extraordinary artefact, likely ceremonial, embodying the widespread influence of the Mithraic cult within the Roman Empire. Dating to the early 3rd century AD, this ceremonial cavalry helmet is a striking representation of the god Mithras, venerated by Roman soldiers throughout the empire. Mithras, who was often depicted in scenes of bull slaughter, is certainly captured in the idealised features of this helmet. The elaborate curls and piercing gaze mirror the iconic face of Mithras found in ancient art – a face associated with power, light and protection. The helmet’s design also reflects the deep cultural crossovers between Rome and Persia. The top of the helmet features an Achaemenid-style griffin, a being symbolising divine protection and strength in Persian art.
