The image depicts a powerful scene from Roman mythology, where Mithras, the god of light and truth, triumphantly overcomes a ferocious bull. The artist's skillful rendering brings this dramatic event to life with intricate details that captivate our imagination. The blood-stained battlefield serves as a reminder of the brutal nature of this act, while also hinting at its symbolic meaning within Mithraic rituals. Located in the Scottish English borders, this print not only showcases an important episode from Roman history but also highlights the local connection to these ancient remains.
