Despre un fragment de plăcuţă de marmură cu reprezentarea cavalerilor danubieni de la Porolissum

  • Subiect: During the 1984-1985 excavations at the Roman fort from the top of the Pomet-Hill, from the Daco-Roman complex Porolissum (fig. 2), the capital of the province of Dacia Porolissensis (fig. 1), an underground temple was discovered in the latus praetorii sinistrum, believed to have been built for the god Mithras (fig. 3). The temple received the archaeological indicative C3. In trench nr. 84, which had crossed the temple on its south-western part, were found two fragments of a votive plaque dedicated to the Danubian Rider-Gods (fig. 4). The representation was graphically completed (fig. 5). It belongs to type 1, quadrilateral shaped, with only one register (field) (Tudor 1976, 65, 69, 85-86). Among the older pieces from Porolissum there are two fragments of marble plaques, votive dedications to the Danubian Rider-Gods. One is to be found in the County Museum of History and Art from Zalău (Sălaj county) (fig. 6), the other in the National History Museum of Transylvania (fig. 7). All the pieces together and each taken separately stand proof for the complexity of the Roman religion at the beginning of the 3rd century AD (the pieces seem to date from this period), and the item discovered in the underground temple of Mithras, confirm the current association of the Danubian Rider-Gods with the Mithraic cult (Tircark 1998, 284-288).
