Roman sculpture depicting the Persian deity Mithras slaying a bull. The Mithraic religion was an all-male cult that was popular in the Roman army, and it is heavily featured in Raised by Wolves, a sci-fi TV show on HBO Max. The sculpture dates back to early 3rd century CE. Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, VA.
