Roman Danubian Temple-Shaped Lead Plaque with Helen of Troy
3rd century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £221
Displaying a figural scene in relief composed of a mounted rider (Dioscuros) advancing left towards the figure of Helen of Troy, in the upper register, the sun and the moon, behind the cavalryman a woman or image of Nike holding a crown upon his head. 74 grams, 90 mm
From the collection of a North American gentleman, formed in the 1990s.
The image of Sol Invictus assumed a great importance in the Danubian cult: the frequent representation of the celestial gods on the plaques is paralleled by their representation on monuments of other mystery cults, particularly the cult of Mithras. The image of a Dioscuros on horseback is linked to that of the Danubian rider.
