A cast figurine of the Minotaur standing with club in the right hand, left arm raised; mounted on a custom-made wooden stand with old collector' label 'Coll. General Cesnola / Am. Consul Gen. / Crete / Sotheby's 1892'. The Minotaur, monstrous offspring of the Cretan queen Pasiphae and a white bull, was first represented during the Minoan period (27th - 15th century BC). According to myth, the creature, imprisoned in a labyrinth beneath the royal palace, demanded yearly human sacrifices until it was eventually slain by the hero Theseus. The tale may have had its origins in the prehistoric Greek worship of a 'horned god' and the likely practise of human sacrifice at the palace-city of Knossos. By the Archaic period of Greek art (c. 800 - 480 BC), the Minotaur was an established and popular subject -matter for vase paintings, sculpture and metalwork (cf. the depiction of Theseus slaying the MInotaur on a black-figure kylix held in the Toledo Museum of Art, Ohio, USA, accession no. 1958.70 / Beazley 350734). Later, during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, bulls were also associated with the worship of Mithras, meaning that this figure may have held dual significance for its original owner.

Antonius Rufinus and Sergius Octavius Laenas Pontianus were consuls, the diploma was given to a Cilix, a Cilician; he had a wife and a son and was born in a town with name ending in "-polis", since there is no place for the name of the unit and the commander, it is highly possible it is a copy after a constitution issued for one of the praetorian fleets from Ravenna or Misenum; the tabella was thereafter cut for reuse, and new lines on the left margin were added.
