It's ya boy. Blond haired bishounen human experimentation man, Mithras. I've always loved this demon's design and I'd had an itch to draw more megaten so here's me scratchin it.

This #Roman mosaic shows the birth of Mithras. He is emerging from a dark cave, flanked by his 2 attendants, Cautes & Cautopates. Above him is the raven, associated with initiation into his cult. Now in the @walters_museum collection it dates to the 1st Century AD
First up for #MoasicMonday, here's a roundel showing the birth of Mithras. Flanked by his two usual attendants, Cautes and Cautopates, Mithras emerges from a dark cave: ca. 1st Century AD (provenance back to ca. 1905), probably from Egypt. #Roman

#London, Mithraic relief.
Found close to the site later identified as a #temple of #Mithras. This piece was carved for the benefit of Ulpius Silvanus, #veteran of II Augusta, who may have joined the cult at #Orange (Arausio) in #Gaul
